Indoors - fill a seed tray or pots with good free-draining seed compost. Outdoors - prepare the soil by raking until it is fine and crumbly, removing any large stones. Sow seed in 7cm (3.5in) pots of free-draining compost. Keep at 18-20°C (64-68°F) until after germination. Alternatively sow seed outdoors 1cm (½in) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart.
Growing Info:
