Growing Notes

Sow in warm conditions and transplant after frost risk has passed.
Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged.
Pinch growing tips above a pair of leaves to encourage branching, and remove flower spikes if leaf harvest is the priority.
In humid districts, water at soil level in the morning and keep the 40 cm spacing open for airflow.
In hot, dry districts, mulch after the soil has warmed and water deeply at the root before plants wilt.
Follow the instructions on the packet you receive if they differ.
