How
Sow direct in a Sunny, well drained position. Cover with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix, firm down and moisten. Thin after 4 weeks. Sow successive crops at 4-5 weekly intervals.
Care

Hint
To aid germination, maintain even moisture by laying a plank of wood over row. Remove after germination.
