Basic Growing Information
It can take a while to germinate and the seeds are tiny so sometimes sowing outdoors, you feel like you’re spreading dust in the wind. Mixing with sand can help. Make sure if you are direct sowing outside you are close to the ground when you do it so the seed doesn’t blow away in the wind.
Surface sow the tiny seed and keep lightly moist until germination, which is usually 15 to 20 days. When the seedlings have several pairs of true leaves and soil temperatures are at least 60° transplant them into a prepared garden bed. Or direct seed in the garden and keep moist until germination.
