Planting and Care Instructions (From this Label)
Start outdoors, in a sunny location, once soil has warmed to at least 65° F. Sow seeds 2" apart and 1/4" deep. Soil should be moist, fertile, rich and well-draining. Once seedlings emerge, thin so plants are spaced 4-6" apart. Moisten the soil thoroughly when watering; and water consistently to encourage high yields. Feed every 4-6 weeks. When harvesting cut leaves down to the base, within 1-2" of the soil. Harvest 3-4 times the first year and monthly in subsequent years.
