Sowing Instructions. Sow mid March to April under glass for transplanting outdoors, thinly in seedtrays or pots of good seed compost at 15-20 (59-68F). Sow on the surface of the firmed compost and cover with a very fine layer of compost or vermiculite.
Growing Instructions. Transplant when seedlings are large enough to handle into modules or small pots of compost and maintain a minimum temperature of 15C (59F). Harden off and plant outside in well-prepared soil once all frost risk has passed allowing 38cm (15 inches) between each plant. Plant in block formation to assist with self-blanching. It is essential to keep well watered for succulently flavoured, string free stems.
