Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | Indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost |
|---|
Sow seed thinly on the surface of a good free-draining seed sowing mix. Cover with a sprinkling of sowing mix or vermiculite. Keep out of direct sunlight, but do not exclude light. Place in a propagator or warm place at 18-20C (64-68F) until after germination which usually takes 14-21 days, although can be slow and erratic.
Growing Instructions
Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3 inch) pots. Plant in final situation when 10cm (4 inches) high, 45cm (18 inches) apart. For indoor crops, plant into growbags or pots. For outdoor crops, acclimatize plants to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting in sunny, fertile, moist, well-drained soil
