Sow in a nursery or in the ground, lightly tamping the soil and keeping it cool. If necessary, thin out about 1 month after sowing. When plants have reached the size of a pencil, shorten the leaves and transplant every 10 to 12 cm, in 10 cm-deep furrows spaced 30 cm apart. In regions with mild climates, it is possible to sow in August and transplant in November for an early spring harvest.
