How to Sow and Plant

Seed Preparation — Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours to improve germination.
Sowing: Sow seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost, or directly outdoors in early spring.
Depth & Spacing: Plant seeds about 0.25–0.5 inch deep; space plants 36–48 inches (90–120 cm) apart to allow growth.
Transplant / Thinning: Thin to strongest seedlings before transplanting outdoors if started inside.

How to Grow

Sunlight: Full sun (6–8+ hrs daily) for best growth.
Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with organic matter; pH approx. 6.5–7.5.
Water: Keep soil consistently moist, not waterlogged.
Fertilizer: Apply balanced organic compost every 4–6 weeks during growth.
Maintenance: Mulch to retain moisture, weed control, and prune dead leaves.

Tips

Start seeds indoors in seed trays for a head-start in cooler regions.
Protect young plants from frost; harvest buds before they open.
Use companion planting (peas, beans) to enrich soil fertility.
