Growing Instructions

Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the average first frost date. Press seeds into soil. Do not cover seeds because they need light to germinate. Use a heating mat to help increase germination. Keep the seeds moist, not wet. Wet soil will rot the seeds. If possible, use a grow light to provide direct bright light for 16 hours per day. Inadequate light will result in leggy, weak seedlings. Thin seedlings to 1-2" apart when they are 3-4" tall. Harden off seedlings before transplanting. Plant in an area of the garden that receives at least 6 hours of full sunlight with fertile, well-drained soil.
