Where to Sow:   Sow seeds  0.5cm (¼") deep, in small trays of compost  and lightly cover the seeds with a sprinkling of compost , and place at a  temperature of 15-20°C .  Alternatively sow direct outside in April and May  into shallow seed drills.   

What to do next:  Prick out seedlings individually to 7cm (3") pots, once large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler conditions , then gradually harden off plants in a cold frame before planting out after risk of frost has passed. Transplant to final positions 30cm (12in) apart or into larger containers, or grow a few in pots on a  light windowsill all year round.                                                                   
Direct sown seedlings can be thinned to 15-30cm (6-12in) apart and harvested as required.

Handy Tip: Should be added to cooked dishes  only minutes before use to retain the strength of flavour.
