Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before sowing to enhance germination.
Pre-chill seeds in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks to simulate winter conditions (cold stratification) for better germination rates.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the last expected frost date.
Plant seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep in seed-starting trays or pots filled with a seed-starting mix.
Space seeds 2 inches (5 cm) apart.

Germination:

Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C).
Germination typically occurs in 2-4 weeks.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors in early spring when soil temperatures reach 60°F (15°C).
Space plants 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart in rows that are 3-4 feet (90-120 cm) apart.
Dig a trench about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) deep, place seedlings at the bottom, and cover with soil.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Mulch around plants to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture.
Allow plants to grow undisturbed for 2-3 years to establish a strong root system before harvesting.

Happy Gardening!
