How to Grow
Sow seed 12 mm deep and 2.5 cm apart in rows 30-45 cm apart as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring and every two weeks after that until late spring. Thin to 5-7.5 cm after germination – this is the secret to the best crops. Sow again in mid to late August for fall crops. Top-dress with compost, after seedlings are well established.
