Harvest: Jan to Dec

Sowing Indoors
Sprouting seeds can be grown successfully on any warm, light windowsill which is not in full sun all day. Place two layers of absorbent growing medium, like kitchen roll, into a shallow dish or tray. Thoroughly wet the layers but drain any excess water. Sow the seed fairly thickly over the wet growing medium. Place the dish in a warm, light, airy position. Maintain a temperature of around 15°C and keep the sowing moist but not wet to ensure rapid germination.

Harvest
Harvest the shoots when they are about 2cm long using a pair of scissors, just as the leaves begin to appear. This typically takes 5–10 days. Rinse the shoots and use immediately in salads, sandwiches, or stir-fry dishes.

Advice
Sow small amounts periodically to enjoy a continuous supply.
