Sow seed on the surface of a good, free-draining compost and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag and keep at 20-25°C (68-77°F) until after germination which takes 10-14 days.
Growing Info:
Transplant when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant outdoors once all risk of frost is passed 60cm (24in) apart. Plants do not require sideshooting but will appreciate support especially once fruiting. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
Harvesting Period:
July to October
No. of Seeds: 6 (approx)
