- Leave seeds arranged in an open tray in the light to chit before planting
- Plant with shoots upwards from early to mid-April onwards once the soil has warmed, 10cm (4in) deep in a trench with a sprinkling of fertiliser or in bed dug over with well-rotted manure or garden compost
- Leave 40-50cm (1ft 4in – 1ft 7in) between rows
