| Sowing time: | Indoors 4 weeks before last frost |
|---|---|
| Sowing depth: | 1cm (½in) |
Sow in 8cm (3in) pots of moist seed sowing mix. Germination usually takes 7-10 days at 21-24C (70-75F). May also sow outdoors after last frost, once soil has warmed.
Gradually acclimatize the plants to outdoor conditions before planting outdoors after all risk of frost has passed 60cm (24in) apart. Plant in a sunny sheltered spot, in fertile moist but well drained soil and keep well watered.
Pinch out the growing point when 6 leaves have been made and train the shoots produced up netting, trellis etc. Do not remove the male flowers from this variety. Harvest the fruits before they reach full size for improved quality and better cropping. Tasty Green also grows happily in a greenhouse.
