🌱 Sowing

• Sow April to July, indoors in modules or direct outdoors after frost.
• Sow 3-5cm deep and keep evenly moist.
• Label your sowings clearly and keep young seedlings protected from slugs.

🪴 Planting Out

• Plant out after hardening off, spacing plants around 20-30cm apart.
• Harden off indoor-raised plants gradually before moving them outside.
• Water well after planting to help roots establish.

☀️ Growing Conditions

• Position: Full sun
• Habit: Compact plants, ideal for smaller spaces
• Provide canes, netting or a frame for climbing types.

✂️ Harvesting / Use

• Pick pods regularly while young and tender.
• 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.
