Sow March to June. Sow thinly, 1cm (½in) deep in drills 23cm (9in) apart in well-drained, fertile
soil which has been well raked to a fine tilth and which contains plenty of well-rotted compost.
Growing Instructions:
Transplant when seedlings have 5-6 leaves, spacing by 30-45cm (12-18in) apart.
Aftercare Instructions:
Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Hoe between plants occasionally, and give a liquid feed as heads begin to develop. Harvest from late summer to autumn.
