Tips & Guidance:

 Indoor Sowing

In trays of firmly packed, pre-watered compost, sow seeds thinly, lightly covering them with vermiculite or sifted compost. Maintain warmth (15-20°C) and ensure consistent moisture, as germination may take several weeks.

Transplanting

Transition plants outdoors gradually during late spring and summer to acclimate them to outdoor conditions. For container cultivation, opt for pots with a minimum diameter of 20cm.

Outdoor Planting

Allow plants to adapt to outdoor conditions over 2 to 3 weeks before planting them out after the threat of frost has subsided. Alternatively, keep pots on a sunny windowsill.

Direct Outdoor Sowing

Sow seeds thinly, burying them 1cm deep directly into the desired harvest area. Thin seedlings to 20cm apart and maintain soil moisture throughout. Expect germination to occur over several weeks. Alternatively, sow in containers with a diameter of 20cm or larger.

Additional Advice

Regularly harvest by cutting stems at the base. While technically a biennial, it's commonly grown as an annual. For a continuous supply, consider sowing successive batches.
