Originally sent to us in 2003 by Melvin Christensen of Corbett, Oregon, he also referred to the variety as "Spec-T" in his correspondences. He told is that he had received seeds in 1972 from a co-worker of his at Tektronix who in turn had received them from friends some years prior. Those friends had collected the variety in Turkey while serving in the Peace Corps. We introduced it to the gardening public in 2005.

Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.
