Sow indoors in late April or up to one month prior to transplanting outdoors. Germinates between 80-90°F (27-32°C). Grow seedlings at 75°F (24°C). Reduce water and temperature for a week before transplanting to harden seedlings. When the weather is frost-free, transplant to 6 inch hills with 3' spacing in rows 6' apart.
