GROWING NOTES

Start Seeds indoors 6 weeks before transplanting outdoors after nights are above 10C. Sow directly outdoors in late spring, only when night temperatures are at 13C. Sow in rich, moist soil. Thin seedlings 8-10″ apart. Pinch back stems and flower stalks to encourage branching and leaf production. Harvest individual leaves as needed or pick entire plants when flowers stalks appear.
