Sowing:

• Indoor Starting:
  • Begin 6-8 weeks before the last frost in seed trays or small pots.
  • Use a quality seed-starting mix.
  • Sow seeds 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep.
  • Spacing: Space seeds 2 inches apart in trays.

Germination:

  • Rows: 3-4 feet (90-120 cm) apart.
• Depth: Transplant at the same depth as in the pots.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering: Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Use drip irrigation or water at the base to prevent fungal diseases.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and stabilize soil temperature.
• Staking: Support plants with stakes or cages to prevent sprawling and improve airflow.
