 How To Grow:

• Fill a tray with compost. Firm into tray and moisten the soil.
• It is advisable to use a micro biologically tested compost such as Klasmann Peat Free Seed Compost to ensure there is no pathogens present.
• Sprinkle the seeds over compost and press down gently. You can cover with a fine layer of compost but it is not necessary.
• Cover seeds with another tray to keep in darkness for 5-6 days or until germination occurs.
• Once seeds have germinated, remove cover and place in area with light.
• Keep the compost moist (but not soaking).
• Best kept at a steady temperature of about 20^oC
• Nasturtium are one of the slower seeds to germinate. You should see signs of germination after about 6 days.
• Cut after about two weeks (or when you are happy with your crop).

Harvesting:

When you are happy with your crop then cut your greens close to the compost and gently rinse off any compost. If you feel they are getting too big they can all be harvested all together and stored in a container in the fridge to keep fresh.
