Growing Tips
Sow shallow (about 5 mm?1 cm). Keep continuously moist for reliable germination, especially in fluctuating spring conditions.
Aim for rich, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter; steady watering helps prevent bitterness.
In warm spells, make frequent small sowings so young plants are always coming on.
Problem notes: slugs are common in early and late plantings; tipburn can be linked to moisture stress or low calcium.
Growing tip: For best results, plant at the recommended time for your climate and provide consistent moisture until seedlings are established.
