How to Sow Seeds

Growing notes: Sow 5mm (1/4in) deep. Cover with a fine layer of soil and firm gently. Keep soil moist. Seedlings appear in 10-14 days.

When large enough to handle transplant seedlings 40cm (16in) apart both ways. Keep well-watered and free of weeds. Apply a mulch around the base of the plants.

Regularly topdress with a good quality feed to ensure steady growth. Harvest fruits often when they are small in size.
