CULTURE – Ideally direct sow in Spring or Autumn to avoid heavy frost damage.  Preferers a sheltered sunny location with plenty of organic matter incorporated into the soil. Keep an eye out for slugs & snails as they adore all young seedlings. Thin out to 10cm (4”) intervals. Overall height: 20cm (8”).  Plants need to be kept moist to prevent premature bolting or bitterness. Weed carefully around plants so not to damage the root structure.
