Sowing and harvesting time

Sow indoors Sow outdoors Harvest

- Mature Height 60cm
- Mature Spread 90cm
- Plant Spacing cm
- Annual Growth cm
- Planting Sow seeds at 1.3cm deep
- Soil Type Fertile, moist but free draining soil, seed compost
- Pruning Keep the area weed free
To start seeds off early in spring, place a seed sideways 1cm deep in seed compost in a small seed pot. The critical part is temperature - they prefer warm conditions until germinated. Germination usually takes around 7-10 days. Keep the soil moist but try to water around the plants, not over them. Keep soil weed-free to allow air circulation. Feed regularly with a high potassium fertiliser when the first fruits start to appear.
