If you want some very early crops, sow the seed indoors the end of February.

Plant seed very shallowly, .5 cm or so (lay the seed down on the pot or flat and cover so you just lose sight of the seed).

The seed will germinate in 15 days (plus or minus 5 to 7 days) if you keep the seed flat around 22°C. Commercial growers raise the daytime temperature to 23° to 24°C and lower the night temperature to 18°C for increased germination.

Do not allow the seeds to dry out (but don’t swamp them, either) as a steady moisture level will assist in germination. When the plants germinate, grow them at 18°C for good, stocky plants. If you let them get too cool in this growing-on stage, 12° to 13°C, they will tend to bolt in the field and go to seed rather than give you a leafy stalk.
