Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to enhance germination.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date.
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix.
Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate in 10-21 days.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
Transplant seedlings to the garden, spacing them 3-4 feet apart in rows 6 feet apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains moist.
Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Remove any flower buds in the first year to allow the plant to establish.
Protect from pests such as aphids and snails using appropriate methods.
In colder climates, protect plants over winter with mulch or cover, or treat as annuals.

Happy gardening!
