Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

Pre-soaking (optional) : Soak seeds in water for 12-24 hours before sowing to speed up germination.

Sowing:

Direct Sowing:

Sow seeds directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of 6-8 inches and removing any weeds or debris.

Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and cover lightly with soil.

Space seeds about 6-8 inches apart.

Indoor Starting (Optional):

Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost.

Use seed trays or pots with a good seed starting mix.

Maintain a temperature of 60-70 °F (16-21 °C) for germination.

Germination:

Timeframe: Seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days.

Conditions: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have at least two sets of true leaves and after the danger of frost has passed.

Spacing: Space transplants 6-8 inches apart in rows.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering:

Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods.

Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.

Weeding:

Keep the area around the plants free of weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water.

Staking:

Taller plants may need staking to prevent them from falling over, especially in windy conditions.
