Growing Tips:
Indeterminate. Do not plant seeds too early. They may become leggy and/or root bound. If necessary, use row cover to protect your seedlings/plants from cold weather. Use stakes or cages for support.
Seeds should be planted indoors and kept in a dome with a heated mat for 6-8 weeks.
It is key that your new starts be hardened off. This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure.
- Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day
- One week minimum is recommended
- Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight
- Keep an eye on them and constantly water them. Make sure they have not blown over.
