Gardener's Notes: In spring to midsummer, sow groups of 3 seeds 14 - 18 inches apart in rich, well-amended soil. Cover 1/2 in. deep. When seedlings are well established, thin to strongest single seedling. For transplants, start about 6 weeks early. Transplant about 2 weeks before last frost. Provide growing plants with even moisture and use a high nitrogen fertilizer monthly. Watch for caterpillars; control with non-toxic B.T.
