Seeds will germinate in 10-14 days under optimal conditions (temperature around 60-70°F).

Transplanting:

If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and seedlings have developed several true leaves.

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells.
