Sow Indoors.

Sow indoors all year round for indoor crops and March to May for outdoor crops. Sow 0.5cm (¼" ) deep, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20C (60-68F) is ideal. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. For outdoor crops, accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 20cm (8") apart. Alternatively, plants can be grown on a light windowsill.
