in bucket, in the ground

Sow in pots or slabs at a temperature of 10-18°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.

This ancient Austrian variety was rediscovered by Nancy Arrowsmith of Noah's Ark, a genetic resources preservation organization in Austria. It is also known as "Trout Back" and "Freckles". Historian William Woys Weaver traced this variety back to 1793 and discovered that it was a dwarf selection of the "Spotted Aleppo" variety developed in Germany. Its name literally means "spotted like a trout" in Austrian.
