Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Use a peat moss-based mix for best germination (70-75°F). Transplant the 1.5-inch seedlings into individual pots and lower the temperature to 60-65°F. Once hardened off, plant out in the ground in May, spacing 3 feet apart.
Ensure regular watering at the base and apply mulch to maintain moisture. Crop rotations and removal of diseased plants prevent diseases.
