Planting outdoors
From Mid Spring TO Mid Autumn
Plant out to soil that has been enriched with well-rotted manure or compost, in a sheltered position if late in the season
Propagation by seed
From Early Spring TO Early Autumn
Sow seeds in damp compost or soil, and keep moist, but not waterlogged. Sow in succession - about every two weeks - to get a continuous crop
