A well-known and much loved variety for the home gardener with smooth, medium-sized fruit on heavy trusses with a fine agreeable flavour.Sow in late winter for heated greenhouse cultivation or early spring for the cold greenhouse. Sow 6mm deep in a good compost until germination usually takes 6-14 days at 24C. Transplant the seedlings when large enough to handle into 8cm pots and grow on in good light and cooler conditions. When 15-23cm tall plant out 45cm apart in a prepared greenhouse, border, growbag, or container. To grow outdoors, gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions and plant out after all risk of frost, 45cm apart in a sunny spot on light, rich, well drained soil. Stake side shoots regularly and pinch out the growing point after 4 trusses have set.
