How to Sow Seeds

Method: Punnets / Direct sow
Depth: 12mm
Growing notes: Sow 12mm (1/2") deep direct in final position. Sow seeds in clumps, later thinning to the two strongest seedlings. Allow 90cm (3") between rows and plants. Keep the plants well watered and prepare the soil well by adding organic material and a complete fertiliser. For early crops, sow seeds in punnets or trays and plant out when strong enough. Seedlings emerge 6-10 days.
