Growing Information

How to Sow

Prepare your soil well so that the top layer is free from stones. Sow your seeds directly where they will grow, pressing them lightly so that there is good soil contact but the seeds get some sunlight. Keep them moist as they germinate, but don't let the soil become too soggy, especially once the seedlings emerge.
