1. Fill trays, punnets or jiffy pots with a good quality seed-raising mix, or use soil starter pellets.
2. Sow seeds 3mm deep.
3. Keep soil moist but never wet or dry.
4. Seeds should germinate in around 5-15 days at a soil temperature of 21-28°C.
5. Transplant seedlings to the garden once they have their first true leaves and are large enough to handle (usually 5-10cm tall).
6. Plant out, spacing plants 30cm apart.
