Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required. Seeds can be sown directly without pre-treatment.

Sowing:

Direct Sowing: Sow seeds directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperature reaches at least 50°F (10°C).
Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds in seed-starting trays filled with a quality seed-starting mix. Cover seeds lightly with soil as they need light to germinate.
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart. Thin seedlings to 6-8 inches apart once they are large enough to handle.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
Maintain a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C) during the germination period.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date and when they have at least 2-3 true leaves.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
Space plants 6-8 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvesting: Harvest leaves when they are young and tender, typically when they reach 4-6 inches in length. Regular harvesting will encourage new growth.

Happy gardening!
