WHERE TO SOW:

Sow the seeds thinly in shallow drills 1cm deep in the growing site. Keep well watered.

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

Thin the seedlings as they grow to about 15cm apart. The thinnings can be transplanted and will mature a little later. Finally, thin to 30cm apart using the plants you remove as salad leaves.
