Growing method

Prepare a clean seedbed or containers with fertile, well-drained soil. Start indoors 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting or direct sow according to season. Sow about 6 to 13 mm deep unless the packet gives a more specific direction. Use the following spacing as the crop develops: 30 to 45 cm between plants; 45 to 90 cm between rows. Keep the medium evenly moist during emergence without leaving it saturated. Provide full sun and good air movement. Thin crowded seedlings early so the remaining plants develop without unnecessary competition. Harden indoor-started plants gradually before transplanting them outdoors after the appropriate frost date. Maintain consistent irrigation throughout growth. For best results, label the row and observe the plants regularly as conditions change through the season. Adjust watering to rainfall, wind, container size, and the actual moisture at soil level. Good air circulation and adequate spacing help foliage dry normally after rain or irrigation. Keep the growing area free of weeds that compete for light, moisture, and nutrients. Use clean tools for harvest and remove damaged plant material when it appears. Always follow the packet information when a variety-specific direction differs from general guidance. A simple garden label makes the cultivar easy to identify from sowing through harvest or flowering. Check young plants frequently because small moisture or pest problems are easier to address early.
