A good start: warmth and light
Warm sowing can be done indoors or in a heated greenhouse. After germination, every seedling needs enough light. A dark attic needs grow lights. An unheated greenhouse can become very cold at night: measure the temperature and check the advice for your crop.

Spring, according to product guidanceSow directly into workable soil that is not waterlogged.
- Germination and temperature
- Use workable spring soil with good drainage; follow seed guidance.
- After emergence
- Give seedlings light immediately after emergence. A dark loft needs suitable grow lights; warmth alone is insufficient. Ventilate and keep the compost moist without saturating it.
- Pricking out and potting on
- Sow directly and keep the young row weed-free. Planting out is unnecessary for this route.
- Hardening off and planting out
- Stays in the final sowing position.
This is a trial crop in the Dutch climate. Maturity days from abroad give no certain harvest date.
