Step 4: Planting the Seeds or Seedlings
FROM SEEDS:
- Fill a seed tray or small pots with moistened soil.
- Sow the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and lightly cover them with soil.
- Mist with water and cover with a plastic dome or plastic wrap until they germinate (usually 5–10 days).
- Once the seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or your garden.
FROM SEEDLINGS:
- Space them 12 to 18 inches apart in the ground or 1 plant per 6–8 inch pot.
- Gently loosen the roots and plant at the same depth they were in their original container.
- Firm the soil and water thoroughly.
