| Growing Info: Sow 2-3 seeds on their edges in individual pots from April-May in the greenhouse, or direct-sow outside from mid-May, spaced 60cm between sowings. Thin out to the strongest seedlings. If sown under cover, acclimatise plants before planting 60-80cm apart when risk of frost has passed. |

| Aftercare: Keep plants well-watered. Harvest regularly to keep plants producing. It is best to keep harvesting as and when the fruits are ready, so give surplus crops away or pickle for winter use. |
