Sow seeds indoors in pots 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. Plant seeds at a depth of 1/8 inch in moist seed-starting mix, and expect germination in 7-14 days under warm conditions. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during this period.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost has passed, when soil has warmed and night temperatures stay above freezing. Harden off plants gradually by exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before final planting.
Direct sow seeds outdoors after frost danger has completely passed. Press seeds into prepared soil at a depth of 1/8 inch, keep the seed bed moist, and thin seedlings as they develop.
