in the ground, in bucket
Sow in pots of 2 to 3 seeds. Keep the most vigorous plant, then prick out, with the root ball, after the last frosts and when the plants have 3 to 4 leaves. Sow directly in the ground, previously enriched with compost, in stacks of 2 to 3 seeds spaced 1 m apart in all directions. Thin out, keeping the most vigorous plant.
From September onwards, whiten the ribs by binding them and protecting them from light with mulch or cardboard.
