Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected spring frost date. Maintain a temperature of 70 to 75°F (21 to 24°C) for quick germination.
When seedlings reach 4 cm (1.75"), transplant them into individual pots, then reduce the temperature to 15 to 18°C (59 to 65°F). After hardening off, transplant them into well-drained organic soil, spacing the plants 90 cm (36") apart for this indeterminate variety.
Provide regular watering directly to the soil to prevent disease and apply straw mulch to protect against splashing and conserve moisture. Rotate crops annually and remove diseased plants immediately to prevent the spread of disease.
