GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Sow outdoors from March to May once soil temperatures reach at least 8°C. Choose a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, moisture-retentive soil that has been enriched with compost or well-rotted organic matter.

Sow seeds 3cm deep in drills spaced 45cm apart, leaving approximately 8cm between seeds. Water thoroughly after sowing and keep soil consistently moist during germination.

Protect young seedlings from birds using netting. Provide support as plants grow to prevent stems from collapsing and to improve airflow.

Water regularly during flowering and pod formation. Harvest pods frequently once they are well filled to extend the cropping period. For continuous harvests, sow small batches every 2–3 weeks throughout spring.
