Description

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds thinly from spring to mid summer 6mm (žin) deep in drills 38cm (15in) apart. A moist well drained soil which has had plenty of compost during the previous autumn is best. In very hot weather it's best to water the soil before sowing and to make sowings during the early afternoon.

Aftercare

Harvest when the head feels firm when gently pressed.
