Growing at a glance…

Ensure plants are grown in a sunny spot that's protected from strong wind. Grow in humus-rich soil that's well drained. Sow seeds indoors from April to June, 2cm deep. Put them in a propagator, or keep somewhere warm - a sealed bag can work wonders (21 degrees). Avoid sowing in cold conditions. Acclimatise outside for a few days before planting out after all risk of frost has passed. Space 1.2m apart.
