They can be grown in containers as well as in veg beds too.Fast growing Sow: March to JulyHarvest: June to SeptemberSowingSow seeds thinly in a shallow, pre-watered row, lightly covering with a little soil. Keep soil moist, as dry conditions impair germination. Small sowings made every three weeks through the summer will ensure a continuous supply. Allow 30cm between rows.ThinningThin seedlings to about 10cm apart when large enough to handle. Ensure remaining seedlings are still firm in the soil.AftercareWater plants generously in dry weather.AdvicePick when large enough to use; frequent picking will give a longer cropping period. Try mixing with baby spinach leaves and herbs for an aromatic salad. If growing in containers, choose a pot at least 25cm in diameter. Show more
