• Cover seed with1/4 to 3/4 inch fine soil. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
• These can be planted directly outside after the soil has warmed in late spring.
• Thin to 6 to 8 inches when seedlings are 4 inches tall and acclimatise steadily outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
