HOW TO GROW:

Direct seed (recommended): Sow in spring when the soil has warmed after the last frost. Sow 2-3 seeds per inch, in rows 18" apart. Firm the soil over the seeds as they have a tendency to work their way upward out of the soil in heavy rains. There is no need to thin, but a 4-8" final spacing produces healthy, full plants. Transplant: Seeds may be sown inside about 6 weeks before setting out. Plant 1/4" deep and keep at 21°C for the best germination. Transplant out when seedlings have 3-4 sets of leaves. Space plants 4-8" apart in rows 18" apart.
