Start Indoors:

• Start seeds indoors 5-6 weeks before the last expected frost date.
• Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in trays with a good-quality potting mix, keeping soil moist and providing plenty of light.
• When seedlings are about 6 inches tall, transplant them outdoors, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart.

Direct Sow Outdoors:

• Sow seeds directly outdoors 2-4 weeks before the last spring frost, or for fall harvest, sow seeds in mid-summer.
• Sow seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep, spaced 3 inches apart in rows 2-3 feet apart.
• Thin seedlings to a spacing of 12-18 inches once they are established.

Container Gardening:

• Choose a large container (at least 12 inches deep) with good drainage and rich potting soil.
