Plant seeds 2cm (1 in) deep & prick out at 3 to 4 leaves (5 inches Tall) & move to the final growing position. Germination is within 7 to 14 days & requires approx 48 to 75 days to maturity, depending on the variety. The pods grow very fast and require picking at about 4 to 5 in to prevent them from becoming fibrous.
