Sowing

Sow as direct sowing in the place of growth to a depth of about 1 cm, when the frosts are over. At first, protect the direct-sown seeds with cheesecloth and take care of watering.

Can also be pre-grown in own pots or cells max. 2-3 weeks before outdoor planting. Be careful not to disturb the root system when planting. Plant the seedlings in the growing place after the night frosts are over. Remember to root the seedlings before planting and protect them with cheesecloth at first. Gauze reduces the evaporation of moisture and heat and reduces the destruction of birds and other small animals.
