WHEN TO SOW
March and April.
WHERE TO SOW
Sow the seeds thinly in a well prepared seed bed in shallow drills 2cm deep in short rows. Can also be sown earlier in trays under glass for exhibition work.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
Thin seedlings as they grow to 4-5cm apart. When the seedlings are about the thickness of a pencil, they should be lifted and transplanted. Make a hole 15cm deep with a rod, trim off the ends of roots and leaves, drop into the hole and fill with water. Do not fill the hole with soil.November to January?February.
HANDY TIP
Dropping plants into holes saves the need for earthing up, but white stem can be increased by additional earthing up as the plants grow. |
