Product details
How
Sow direct in warm conditions or raise in trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Firm down and keep moist. Transplant when 6cm high. Early sowings should be protected or started indoors, as warmth is needed for germination.
Care
Choose a well-drained, sunny position. Prior to planting mix Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone into the soil. Feed plants regularly with Yates Thrive All Purpose Granular Plant Food. Frequent picking encourages new fruit. Begin picking when green or, for hotter taste, harvest when red. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
Great companion plant for basil, marjoram and parsley. Handle with care. After handling seed or fruit, wash hands well to avoid irritating skin or eyes.
