Growing Info: Sow March-May for summer harvest and Sep-Oct for winter harvest. Sow direct in fertile, pre-watered soil, 2.5cm deep in rows 40cm apart. Thin out seedlings to 23cm apart. Keep plants well-watered until established. Seedlings sown late in the year may benefit from extra protection with a cloche. |

Aftercare: When harvesting, take leaves from several plants rather than stripping one plant bare. Keep soil moist during hot spells to discourage plants running to seed. |
