  • When to Sow: April to May
  • Where to Sow: Prepare a flat bottom drill 5cm (2in) deep and 10cm, (4in) wide.
  • What to do next: Space seeds 5cm (2in) apart throughout the drill allowing 60cm (24in) between the drills, then cover over with soil and gently tamp down with the back of a rake. It is advisable to give some net protection against birds, once seedlings start to grow , then add some net support for plants to climb and hold the crop. Alternatively very early spring sowings can be made in February or March into a length of plastic gutter or modular cells under glass and then planted out against wires. Slide contents of gutter into a shallow drill made in the plot or space modular plants 10-15cm(4-6in) apart once hardened off.
  • Maturity: July to September
  • Handy Tip: As plants grow and the crops mature, stems can get quite heavy, especially after rain so plants may require extra tying to the support netting.
  • Nutritional Value: A good source of Pro-Vitamin A and Vitamins C, B1 and folic acid.
