When to Sow Blue Lake Seeds

May to July

Where to Sow

Early sowings can be made underglass at a temperature of 16°C, sow 3 seeds per 8cm (3in) pot filled with seed sowing compost. Outside sowings can be made from May onwards into the growing site 5cm (2in) deep. Sow 2-3 seeds every 20cm (8in) apart with rows spaced 60cm (24in) apart.

What to do next

Seedlings sown underglass should be gradually hardened off before planting outside in late May to the above spacing, once all risk of frost has past. Provide support by canes or netting for plants to climb. Water regularly during dry weather.

Maturity

July to September

Handy Tip

Pick regularly to encourage extended cropping. Not a good variety for indoor production.

Nutritional Values

A good source of vitamins A, K and folic acid.
