Sowing Instructions

 

Indoors:

Sow seeds in trays or pots filled with moist, well-drained compost from March to May. Lightly cover the seeds with compost and keep at 18-21°C. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and harden off before planting outdoors after the last frost.

 

Outdoors:

Sow directly into prepared, weed-free soil from April to May. Lightly cover the seeds with soil and keep moist until germination occurs. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing for healthy growth.
