Harvest

Where to Sow
Sow seeds under glass 0.5cm (¼") deep, in small trays of seed sowing compost and lightly cover the seeds with a sprinkling of compost, and place at a temperature of 15°C.
What to do Next
Prick out seedlings individually to 7cm (3") pots, once large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler conditions, then gradually harden off plants in a cold frame before planting out after risk of frost has passed. Transplant to final positions 30cm (12in) apart or into larger containers. Cut the leaves, as required, a few from each plant so that they will regrow quickly.
Handy Tip
Can also be grown and used as a tasty baby leaf to garnish salads.
