Seeds germinate in about 7 to 10 days when given the right conditions. Since they need light to sprout, press them gently onto the surface of the soil rather than covering them.
Starting Indoors
- Begin 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost.
- Keep soil temperatures between 70 and 75°F.
- Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing plants 12 to 16 inches apart.
- Water seedlings regularly until they are well established.
Direct Sowing Outdoors
- Wait until after the last frost date.
- Place a few seeds together every 6 to 12 inches along the row.
