Late July to August.

Where to sow 

Sow seed thinly in a prepared seed bed in shallow drills 2cm (3/4") deep. Keep well watered.

What to do Next

Thin the seedlings as they appear to 5cm (2in) apart. Once seedlings are 10-15cm (4-6in) tall, transplant to their final growing site spaced 35-40cm (14-16in) apart. Always set the young plants 1.5cm (1/2in) deeper than they were in the seed bed. Keep well watered during hot dry spells.

Handy tip 

A dual purpose variety. To grow spring greens plant out at 15-20cm (6-8in) apart and take alternative plants in March as spring greens, leaving others to fully mature.
