Water well until plants are established. Transplant 45cm (18″) apart, when plants are about 10cm (4″) tall. Allow 45cm (18″) between rows. Plant firmly and water well. Or sow indoors, March-May, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. Keep moist. Transplant 5cm (2″) apart to other trays, when large enough to handle. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts) before planting out, May-July, into well-cultivated, fertile soil. Harvest: July-August sowings as ‘greens’ in February or March, or hearted from April -May. Harvest March-May sowings as ‘greens’ from September to November.
