Sow in pots under cover. Cover seeds with a thin layer of soil. Transplant when plants have 2 to 3 leaves, at 10 cm intervals, to allow roots to develop before planting. Transplant when plants have 4 to 5 leaves, every 50 cm in rows 50 cm apart, without burying the stem too deeply. For sowing in the open ground, sow lightly in rows 50 cm apart. Thin to 50 cm along the row.
Spring sowing is possible as long as it is carried out just after the last frosts, to minimize the risk of early bolting.
