Use a free draining soil well integrated with compost or good quality potting mix when growing in pots. Propagate in a mini greenhouse when it is too hot or cold, and then transplant once conditions become more suitable. Prone to bolting to seed, make sure to keep well hydrated and out of the direct, hot sun. Full sun preferred when growing in winter, partial shade is otherwise best.
Plant in a pot, wall garden or in-ground. Best companion plants are all Brassicas, Lettuce, Cucumber
