Yes, their compact size makes them ideal for window boxes and patio containers.
You can sow outdoors from April to July, or force them under glass from November to February.
Seeds should be sown at a depth of 1cm.
Germination takes 10-20 days, and the variety is known for maturing quickly; harvest once they reach the desired bite-sized shape.
Use fertile soil prepared in autumn, but avoid fresh manure as it can cause roots to fork.
Each packet contains 500 seeds.
Ensure soil is free of stones and debris; avoid using fresh manure, which can cause misshapen roots.
Check soil moisture levels during the 10-20 day germination window; ensure soil temperature is appropriate.
Thin seedlings early to a spacing of 5cm to ensure each plant has enough nutrients and space.
To achieve the best results, select a sunny, weed-free position for your containers or seed beds. Sow seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm, keeping rows spaced 30cm apart if planting in beds. Germination typically occurs within 10 to 20 days. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them to 5cm apart to allow the roots sufficient room to swell. Avoid adding fresh manure to your soil in the spring, as this encourages forking; instead, enrich your soil the previous autumn. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot or cracking.
