Planting and care

Sow in good soil, in a greenhouse or in a frame from April to June. Cover with a layer of soil of 2 to 3 cm (1in). The young plant germinates after 1 to 2 weeks. Transplant the young plants to the garden once the last frosts have passed in May or June, in rows spaced 60 cm (24in) apart with plants spaced at least 20 cm (8in) apart, in a very sunny location. Harvest after 9 to 12 weeks, from late June to October.
