WHERE TO SOW
Sow the seeds thinly in trays or two seeds to a cell in modules, under glass at 13°C. Later sowings can be made into a seedbed in shallow drills 2cm (¾”) deep in short rows.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
As soon as the first pair of leaves appear, prick off into trays 5cm (2”) apart, or thin modules to one seedling per cell. Gradually harden off before planting out, when about 15cm (6”) tall, in beds 60cm (24”) between plants. Outdoor sowings should be thinned before planting out.
HANDY TIP
Don’t forget to use the tops later in the season, they make a wonderful alternative to winter greens.
