How
Sow direct where they are to grow into shallow furrows. Cover with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix and water gently.
Care
Choose a sunny position. Add Thrive Granular All Purpose Fertiliser for best results. Harvest both tops and white stems. Shoots are crisper early in the season and more pungent later. Keep well watered. Easy to grow in containers. Protect from snails with Yates Blitzem.
Hint
Avoid overwatering - seeds may rot before germination if soil is too wet.

Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
