Sow seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before your last frost date. Surface sow the seeds and press them in lightly (they need light to germinate). Keep the soil at 65-70°F and maintain consistent moisture. Expect sprouting in 10-20 days.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after your last frost date has passed. Harden off plants gradually by exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week or so before planting. Space plants 1 inch apart in full sun.
In warmer climates (zone 8 and warmer), you can direct sow after frost danger has passed.
