Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least
5.85 inches (15.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around
0.49 inches (1.25 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than
5°C / 41°F to ensure good germination.
By our calculations, you should look at sowing Bergam's green about 53 days before your last frost date.
As Bergam's green is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
