Sow in trays or pots, under cover. Transplant at 40 cm in all directions, when plants are 10 to 15 cm high, after the last frosts. Sow light directly in place, in well-warmed soil, in rows 40 cm apart. Thin to 40 cm when plants have 5 to 6 leaves.
Repeat sowing every 3 weeks to stagger harvesting. Water regularly, especially in dry spells, to avoid too rapid a bolting.
