Sow in pots or slabs, at a temperature of between 10 and 18°C, one month before planting. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, press lightly and water. Once the plants have 4 leaves, prick out. Alternatively, sow in rows 30 cm apart, every 15 days, to stagger harvesting. Thin to 10 cm, then 30 cm. This type of sowing produces hardier plants, less susceptible to bolting.
