Planting and Care Instructions (From this Label)

Sow directly in the garden as early as the soil can be made fine and loose. Plant seeds every 2 inches, covering firmly with soil. Thin plants to 6 inches apart when they display 2 or 3 leaves. As plants begin to crowd, pick individual leaves regularly for use.
