Sowing advice

Sow indoors  June- September in trays or pots. Use a good seed raising mix. Add sand to the mix to make up about ¼ of the mix. Moisten the mix. Sow the seeds on top of the mix.  Don’t cover , just press the seeds lightly into the surface,  as light is needed for germination. Keep moist, but not waterlogged.  Ideal temp. 22-24°C. Germination takes 7-15 days. Transplant to 8cm pots and grow on in cooler conditions. Acclimatise and plant out once danger of frost has passed with 30cm spacing.
