Growing Information

Start indoors 10-12 weeks before last frost, sow 1/8" deep (shallow sowing so that they can have some light to germinate). Germination can be slow and staggered, and is improved by gently rubbing the seeds with fine sandpaper before planting. Transplant  to 12" spacing once danger of frost has passed.
