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. 

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 passed. Plants require side shoots to be removed and given support for the best yields. Water and feed plant regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.

Handy Tip

Pick fruits as they ripen and water regularly, but do not overwater to help prevent fruits from splitting.
