🌱 Sowing

Sow March to June in pots or seed trays.
Cover lightly unless the seed needs light to germinate, and keep gently moist.
Label your sowings clearly and keep young seedlings protected from slugs.

🪴 Planting Out

Grow on in good light and avoid overwatering.
Harden off indoor-raised plants gradually before moving them outside.
Water well after planting to help roots establish.

☀️ Growing Conditions

Position: Sunny, sheltered position
Habit: Aromatic herb for pots and beds
Plant out or pot on once established and after frost risk has passed for tender herbs.

✂️ Harvesting / Use

Pick leaves regularly to encourage fresh, bushy growth.
Harvest in dry weather where possible and handle produce or flowers gently.
Use fresh for the best flavour, colour or display quality.

💡 Top Tips

Sow little and often for crops where repeat harvests are useful.
Keep young plants weed-free so they are not competing for light and nutrients.
Check plants regularly during warm weather, as containers and raised beds can dry quickly.
