Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your last expected frost. Soak seeds overnight to speed germination, then plant 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in seed-starting mix. Maintain soil temperature around 55°F and expect sprouts in 5 to 21 days. Keep seedlings in bright light and maintain growing temperatures of 70 to 75°F.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after all frost danger has passed and soil has warmed. Space plants 8 to 10 inches apart. Harden off seedlings gradually over 7 to 10 days, exposing them to increasing amounts of outdoor sun and wind before final planting.
Direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date when soil temperatures reach 55°F or warmer. Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep and space 8 to 10 inches apart.
