Propagating by seed

From Early Spring TO Early Summer

Sow seeds individually 1/2" deep in moist compost in compartmented seed trays in Spring for Summer / Autumn crops, and in Autumn for Winter crops. (Make sure the variety sown is right for the season). Water after sowing. Alternatively sow direct in well-manured soil outdoors. Sow 1"-2" apart in rows 12" apart. Thin to 3" when seedlings are large enough to handle (Thinnings can be used for salads as baby leaves)

 

Planting

From Early Spring TO Late Summer

Thinnings, or seeds grown in trays, can be transplanted outside into well-manured soil, approx. 4" - 6" apart, then watered well.
