Planting Instructions
Start seed 6-10 weeks in advance of intended date for moving plants to the garden. Cover seed lightly with soil. Germinates best at 23°C usually in 8-12 days. Transplant at the 3 leaf stage and maintain 21°C temperatures and keep moderate soil moisture levels--do not saturate soil and allow to dry out between waterings. Over-watering will stunt growth. Fertilize every 2 weeks with 10-52-17 and liquid seaweed for strong healthy plants. Garden spacing 18 in. apart.
