Sow under cover, in plates or in buckets. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. It is possible to transplant for the first time in the nursery when the plants have 2 at 3 leaves, all 10 cm, so that the roots take “hairy” before being put in place. Prick out when the seedlings have 4 to 5 leaves, every 30 cm on rows spaced 40 cm, without burying the stem too much. For sowing in the ground, sow clearly, in lines spaced 40 cm apart. Lighten to 30 cm on the row when the plants have 4 to 5 leaves.
