Planting Tips for Success

• Timing: Follow packet instructions and local frost dates. Harden off indoor-grown seedlings before planting outdoors.
• Light: Choose a sunny site; afternoon protection may help during intense summer heat.
• Soil: Prepare well-drained soil, or use a suitable container mix with drainage holes.
• Sowing: Follow packet depth guidance for these small seeds and water gently to keep them in place.
• Moisture: Keep the seedbed lightly and consistently moist while seedlings establish, without waterlogging.
• Spacing: Thin according to packet instructions so plants have room and airflow.
• Feeding: Fertilize only as needed according to soil conditions and label directions; avoid excessive feeding.
• Support and care: No trellis is needed. Weed carefully around young plants and tidy spent growth as needed.
• Seasonal performance: Monitor plants during hot weather and adjust watering appropriately. Approximately 90 days to flowering is a guide, not a guarantee.
