      Sowing

      Sow once the soil is warmer than 10 °C, in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. Sow about three times as deep as the seed is thick, into finely raked soil with no clods on top. Spacing is as printed on the packet — thin the seedlings out after they come up. Water with a fine spray so the seed is not washed away, and keep only the strongest plants.
