How to grow

Sow 1/4 inch deep in trays under lights, then transplant in spring or summer, spacing plants 2 to 3 feet apart in single rows or a solid-seeded wide-row block. Keep the bed weed-free in full sun with adequate moisture. As a determinate type, the bulk of the crop ripens over a concentrated window, ideal for processing.
