- Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and cover lightly with soil
- Keep soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge
- Provide full sun or partial sun depending on temperature
- Thin seedlings to 6–8 inches apart after germination
- Water regularly, allowing topsoil to dry slightly between watering
- Begin harvesting once plants have 4–6 mature leaves
- Avoid high summer heat; use partial shade in warm climates to prevent bolting
