When to Plant

April to June

Where to Sow

Sow seeds under glass 0.5cm (1/4 in) deep in pots or trays of good seed sowing compost and lightly cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place containers in a propagator at a temperature of 18–21C.        

When to Harvest

July to October

What to do next    

Prick out seedlings, once large enough to handle, into 9cm (3 1/2in) pots. Transplant to the greenhouse border soil, or  individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 20cm (8in) high. Can also be planted outdoors once all risk of frost has past. Plants require side-shooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.

Handy Tip

When plants reach the top of the glasshouse or have seven trusses, remove the growing tip two leaves above the top truss.

Type

Indeterminate - produces single stems. Any side shoots should be removed.
