How Sow thinly in rows 25cm apart. Cover with 1.5cm of fine soil. Firm gently and keep moist. Seedlings appear 7-14 days. For continuous crops sow every 2-3 weeks.
Care For ‘cut and come again’ baby leaves no further thinning is required. Or, when large enough thin to 15cm apart for mature ‘hearted’ plants. Keep moist and weed free. Protect early sowings with cloches.
