From April in tray or cold frame and mid-late May in situ. Germination after 7-14 days at 18-22°C. Place 2 seeds in each planting hole, cover with soil at seed strength, press down and keep moist. The strongest plant is cultivated further. Do not damage roots when planting out. Fertilize and water regularly. Good for the compost pile.
