Sowing the Seeds:
-
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow them directly in the garden after the frost has passed.
-
For indoor sowing, fill seed trays with seed-starting mix. Lightly press seeds into the soil, but do not bury them deeply as they need light to germinate.

-
Seeds will germinate in 7-14 days under proper conditions. Ensure the area is kept warm (around 70-75°F) for best germination rates.

Transplanting Outdoors:

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Space plants at least 2-3 feet apart to allow for their mature size.

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering.
