Direct sowing.
Sow seeds directly in beds, pots or grow bags approximately:
0.5 cm / ¼ inch deep.
Cover lightly with fine soil and water gently.
Keep the growing medium:

After germination, maintain:
Good light, fresh air and moderate soil moisture.
Maintain approximately:
20–25 cm / 8–10 inches between plants
for home garden cultivation.
Adequate spacing helps provide:

Provide:
Full sun.
Approximately:
5–6+ hours of direct sunlight daily
