2. Germination: Keep the soil moist until germination occurs, typically within 7-10 days.
3. Thinning: Once seedlings have a few true leaves, thin them to the recommended spacing to ensure healthy growth.
4. Care: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and apply a balanced fertiliser to promote robust growth.
5. Support: For taller varieties, provide support as needed to prevent bending or breaking in strong winds.
