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.
