Where to Sow
Sow seeds from April thinly along rows 1.5cm (1/2in) deep and 30cm (12in) apart direct in the vegetable plot.
What to do Next
Sowings made underglass can be pricked out into individual pots or module trays and grown on until ready to harden off and plant out into the vegetable plot 30cm (12in) apart between the plants and the rows. Seedlings sown direct outside can be thinned once large enough to handle to 30cm (12in) apart. Thinnings can also be transplanted into other rows, and watered in well during hot dry spells.
Please note Rocket, Mustard and Mizuna can also be sown 2-3 seeds per module and planted out as space comes available.
Please note for Lettuce - Sowings can also be made underglass, sow seeds into pots or trays of seed sowing compost at a temperature of 15-20°C and lightly cover seeds with sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Once seedlings are large enough to handle can be pricked out (transplanted) into individual pots or module trays and grown on until ready to harden off and plant out into the vegetable plot 30cm (12in) apart between the plants and the rows.
Handy Tip
Salad leaves can be sown every 2-3 weeks for fresh salads to harvest throughout the summer.
