Sow seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Use a peat moss-based mix and maintain a temperature of 70-75°F for quick germination (10-14 days). When seedlings are 1.5 inches (4 cm), transplant into individual pots at 60-65°F (15-18°C). Once hardened off, transplant into open ground in late May, spacing 3 feet (90 cm) apart.
Ensure regular watering at the base of the plants, apply mulch to prevent diseases, and respect crop rotation to preserve soil health.
