- Soak seeds overnight in water and then sow seeds directly into the garden or containers.
- Choose a sunny, warm location.
- Sow the seeds thinly, about 10cm apart and cover lightly with soil.

- Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy.
- Germination in about 10 days.
- Sow every three or four weeks for a constant supply of leaves.
- Keep soil and compost damp, but avoid over-watering. Dry soil or compost can cause plants to bolt or flower prematurely.
