- To sow prepare drill 2cm deep
- Space rows 10cm apart
- Sow seed 1cm apart, cover with soil & water well
- Later thin seedlings to 5cm apart
Crop Maintenance
- Avoid Irregular watering or poor weather as this can lead to bolting
- Protect early sown crops with a garden cloche
- Keep the rows weed free and well watered
- A small scattering of growmore or fish, blood and bone can increase vegetable vigour
