  • Fill a container with seed starting mix and sow seeds 1 inch deep, 2-3 seeds per container.
  • Water well and place in a sunny location.
  • Seedlings should emerge in 7-10 days.
  • Once seedlings have developed their second set of true leaves, thin them to one per container.

  • Water regularly and keep the soil moist.
  • Thin seedlings when they are 4-6 inches tall, leaving 4-6 inches between plants.
