Cultivation: Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in late spring after last frost in a warm, sunny location when soil temperature is above 58°F. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Warm day temperatures (75-85°F) and cool night temperatures are important for best results. Harvest when the leaves have changed from bright green to a slight yellowish-green color. No staking required.
