Growing Information

The plants will grow to a height of approximately six feet. Construct a frame work or wigwam using bamboo canes so that the plants can be spaced 23cm (9") apart in the row and 45cm (18") between rows. Pick regularly to produce a large crop and feed with high potash liquid fertiliser. On Receipt - Remove the plants from the packaging immediately upon receipt. Check the compost is moist and water if necessary. All the vegetable plants can be planted immediately into a moist soil in the garden, provided conditions are suitable. Once planted water well to settle the soil around the plants. Soil Preparation - Vegetable plants require a well drained soil in a sunny position that has ideally been dug in the autumn. Prior to planting lightly fork over the area removing any weeds that have grown, and break down any large lumps. Apply a general fertiliser such as Growmore and rake into the surface. During the growing period keep the plants well watered in dry spells and keep weeds under control.
