Growing Tips
Direct sow after soil has warmed; cold, wet soil slows sprouting and can rot seed.
Sow about 1 inch deep and keep evenly moist until emergence, then water deeply when the top few inches dry.
For continuous harvest, sow short rows every 2?3 weeks through early summer.
Disease notes: rotate plantings and avoid working plants when foliage is wet to reduce fungal issues like anthracnose and common rust.
Growing tip: For best results, plant at the recommended time for your climate and provide consistent moisture until seedlings are established.
