How to Sow Seeds

Method: Sow seeds in a seed tray or punnet at a depth of 15mm (half-inch).
Spacing: Water the seedlings into 15cm (6in) deep holes, allowing 30cm (12in) between rows.
Thinning: Thin as necessary and transplant to the growing position when 20cm (8in) tall, avoiding damage to roots.
Growing notes: Make successive sowings for a continuous supply. Harvest when stems are 25mm (1in) thick, usually about 16 weeks from sowing.
