Description
Indoor Planting:
Sow the seeds 5mm deep in trays of moist compost. Be careful not to over-water. Store in a warm place at an approx temperature of 13-16C (55-60F), an airing cupboard is an ideal location. Ensure that the compost is moist at all times
Growing On:
When the seedlings are strong enough to handle, they can be transplanted into bigger pots or trays. Be careful when easing the roots out as they can be easily damaged. Don't overcrowd the plants. Keep the pots in a warm, light position and turn regularly. Once all chance of frost has passed, the herbs can be transplanted into growing beds or patio tubs outside, although if you prefer you can continue growing the herbs inside. For a winter supply, bring the pots indoors.
