Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No pre-treatment required—seeds are ready to plant.

Sowing:

• Direct Sowing: Best sown after the last frost, when soil temperatures reach at least 65°F (18°C).
• Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost date in biodegradable pots to minimize transplant shock.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds ½ to 1 inch deep in moist soil.
• Spacing: Space plants 24-36 inches apart in rows, with rows 3-4 feet apart.
• Temperature: Germinates best at 70-85°F (21-29°C).

Germination:

• Timeframe: 5-10 days under optimal conditions.
• Moisture: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, about 1 inch per week. Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced organic fertilizer at planting and side-dress with compost during the growing season.
• Pollination: Attract pollinators by planting near flowers or hand-pollinate if necessary.

Harvesting:

• Maturity: Ready for harvest in 45-55 days.
