Planting Instruction

How To Sow: Choose a well drained site in full sun. Sow these seeds in trays for subsequent transplanting or, after frosts, sow directly in a well prepared seedbed. Sow seeds 5cm apart, in rows 10-15 cm apart and to a depth of 2cm. Later, transplant or thin to 0.9 - 1.2m apart.
Seedling Care: Keep seedbed or trays evenly moist during the germination period of 7-14 days. Apply fertiliser two weeks after germination for healthier plants and maximum crop. Protect your seedlings from slugs, snails and insect pests; go to mcgregors.co.nz for appropriate plant health and pest control products.
Hints & Tips: Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot and harvest when skin hardens and turns buff-coloured. The seed contained in this packet is packed in dry air and sealed in foil to protect it from moisture and sunlight (heat). If you need to store seed do so in a cool, dark location.
These seeds are not pasteurised.
