Direct seed: Sow 1-2 seeds per inch after the last frost. Sow shallowly, as light is required for germination. Keep soil moist until germination. Thin later to stand 8" apart, in rows 18" apart. Keep young seedlings well watered. Start seeds inside in early spring. Ideal temperatures are 86°F (30°C) during the day and 68°F (20°C) at night. Sow seeds on top of the growing medium, gently pressing them into place, as light is required for germination. Mist to moisten and keep moist until germination. Transplant to individual containers when seedlings have 4 true leaves. Transplant outside after the last frost, spacing 8" apart.
