GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:

Starting Indoors - February - March

Sow seeds 1cm deep in trays of moist compost. Be careful not to overwater. Store in a warm place at an approx. temperature of 15-16oC. When the seedlings are strong enough to handle they can be transplanted into bigger pots or trays. Do not overcrowd the plants and keep in a warm, light position. Once all chance of frost has passed the plants can be tranplanted direct into your desired location in May. Harden off first.
