How to Grow

In a sunny spot sow successive crops every 2 weeks from early spring to early summer and again in late summer as long as the weather is cool. Lay out tape in desired location and cover with 12 mm of soil. Space rows 45 cm apart. Keep the seedbed evenly moist during the germination period. For best seedling emergence avoid crusting over the soil while the seeds are sprouting. Thin seedlings to 7.5 cm apart. Thinnings can be used as baby greens. Germination occurs in 10-14 days.
