Use trays or pots & sowing compost. Seeds should be spaced at least 2.5cm (1in) apart. The seeds need light to germinate, so just cover the seeds with a sprinkling of fine soil. Keep soil moist during germination. When plants are 3 to 5cm (1 to 2in) in height, transplant to 7cm (3in) pots & grow on. Gradually acclimatise indoor started seedlings outdoors after all danger of frost has passed & weather has warmed considerably. Plant out 25 to 30cm (10 to 12in) apart.
