🌱 Seasonal Growing Guide
SPRING: sow the very fine seeds in a seed tray but leave uncovered. They need a little bottom warmth. Keep the compost on the dry side. When large enough to handle pot up into individual pots and grow on ready to plant out.
SUMMER: plant out & space about 30cm apart. Harvest the leaves in the summer for use fresh or dried.
AUTUMN: harvest the last of the leaves before pulling the old plants up.
It is worth potting up some to grow them on a windowsill over the winter for a fresh supply. Grow as an annual, this will not survive most winters outside as it is half hardy
