Where to Sow
Direct into growing site, sow thinly in shallow drills 2cm (3/4in) deep with 30cm (12in) between the rows. For later sowings, some cloche protection may be required.
What to do next
As seedlings grow gradually thin out seedlings to 15cm (6in) apart. Water well during dry spells of weather to avoid premature bolting. Pick leaves as required.
Handy Tip
Pick when young and add raw baby leaves to salads. Pick leaves regularly whilst young and tender for a mild flavour.
