Sow seeds directly in early spring for a summer harvest, or in late summer for a fall harvest. Avoid sowing during periods of prolonged heat. Sow seeds in well-prepared soil and maintain regular irrigation to promote optimum growth. Successive plantings, spaced approximately two weeks apart, will ensure a continuous harvest.
For best results, fertilize regularly with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (20-20-20). Keep the area weeded and well watered. In high temperatures, check your plants daily, as heat can accelerate flowering and affect the quality and taste of the leaves.
