Little space - no problem: Specially selected to grow in containers or small garden spaces. Good crops of tasty, nutritious vegetables can be harvested from your patio, balcony or courtyard.
How To Grow
Sow 5mm (1/4”) deep in pots or trays of seed raising mix. When 10-15cm (4-6”) high transplant to pots in a warm, sunny spot. Space plants 30cm (12”) apart each way. Or one plant per pot. Water daily, and when the first truss has set, feed regularly. Pinch out the side shoots as they appear. Can also be sown direct in final position, particularly for pots. Seedlings emerge 10-14 days.
