How To Grow

1. Sow vegetable seeds 25mm deep in dark damp soil – avoid watering for a day or two afterwards.
2. Sow 7-10cm apart allowing 50cm between rows.
3. Ensure the danger of frosts has passed and protect plants from wind.
4. Plant in 3-5m rows and remove weeds regularly.
5. Water well in dry periods, and spraying flowers gently will help the pods to set.
