Seed growing advice

Sow indoors at any time, sow outdoors  in autumn or spring. Indoors, sow 5mm deep into moist, well-drained seed raising mix. Ideal temp. 18-22°C for 2-4 weeks then move to  +4°C for 4-6 weeks  ( fridge in northern areas) then return to warmth for germination, 5-12°C.

You can also  plant  them outside. Plant them into a tray cover to 5mm with seed raising mix , and with some cover such as glass over them. Leave them over winter and they should appear in spring with the warmer weather.  Once seedlings emerge grow on in individual pots for at least a year before planting out.
