Growing instructions:
Sow seeds from April to May in a pot or tray of damp seed compost 1 cm deep. Once the seedlings have geminated, transplant the seedlings into pots when they have around two-thirds of their leaves and continue to grow for a few more weeks. Put them outside for 3/4 days throughout the day to acclimatise them. When there is no longer a possibility of frost, plant in mid- to late-May, spacing rows 50 cm apart and planting every 50 cm. Provide a lot of organic matters to nourish the plant and aid with water absorption. Keep the plant well-hydrated. Harvest from September to October.
