Harden the seedlings by exposing them to weather for several hours a day for a week before transplanting them after the last frost once soil temps average above 65°F. Plant in very rich soil, 8-10 inches apart in rows 10-12" apart. To direct sow, plant the seeds a week or so after the last frost ½” deep, 3-4” apart and thin to 8-10” apart.

When vines develop, adding a layer of much can be very beneficial. •FREE SHIPPING on all orders of $35 or more.•Flat Rate shipping no matter how many seeds you order.•Growing instructions included on each seed packet.*All information is provided for educational purposes only.
