WHERE TO SOW

WHAT TO DO NEXT
Glasshouse and under cover sowings should be gradually hardened off once they have developed the first pair of rough leaves and transplanted to growing site in late May, 60cm (24″) apart. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to one seedling per station as soon as possible.

July onwards
HANDY TIP
Pick fruits when about 10cm (4″) in diameter, do not allow fruit to grow larger and old as this will slow down production.
