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 10 cm apart, in groups 2 m apart to a depth of 2 cm.
Seedling Care: Keep the seedbed or trays evenly moist during the germination period of 10-14 days. Apply fruit 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: To store after harvest, put in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place, making sure the fruit isn't touching.
