Thinly space the seeds along the lines, then cover and water. Maintain moist soil. If the seedlings reach a height of a couple of inches, thin them to one every couple of inches (5cm).Sow seeds in plug trays of all-purpose potting soil undercover. Sow two to three seeds per cell at a depth of about a half-inch (1cm). After they have germinated, thin them so that each cell contains just one seedling. Alternatively, sow in trays or pots and then transplant the best seedlings into individual cells or pots.
