To Sow and Grow: Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 0.5cm (1/4) deep, thinly in a tray or pots of compost. WAter well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant to individual pots when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Plant out to large pots, growing bags or greenhouse border. Provide support with canes if necessary. Plants may be grown outside in a warm, sunny sheltered location. However, outdoor crops will be later and smaller.
