•
A mixture of 70% garden
soil and 30% peat, or a
soil based potting
compost is advised for
seed sowing; compost
must be moist before
sowing. We do not
recommend soaking or
chipping our seed.
•
Sow 2 seeds per 3” pot
•
October is the best time to
sow. Once the seedlings
are through, they should
be put in a cold-frame to
over-winter. Leave frame
open day and night and
only cover in frosts.
•
Use mouse-traps and slug
pellets to prevent pest
damage.
•
Don’t allow pots to dry
out.
•
Prepare ground in the
Autumn.
•
Don’t over manure; a good
handful of general purpose
fertiliser per square yard is
adequate.
•
Plant out from early March.
•
Tap out pot, drop 2 plants
12” apart
•
Grow in double rows 18”
apart, up a cane cordon
fashion.
•
Garden decoration plants
can be supported with net
wire in any frame.
•
In dry weather, give a good
soak once a week.
•
Feed with high potash
fertiliser once a week onto
soil when buds appear.
