Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 8-10 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.Planting:
In the Spring, plant after all danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in raised beds spaced 8 inches apart. Space the rows 18 inches apart or spaced about 2-3 feet apart if growing with other plants. Planting in moist soil is best for seeds to germinate and emerge quickly.
