Start indoors in a warm, well-lighted area from early March through June for the earliest of crops. Sow seeds ¼" deep in good compost. Keep evenly moist. Seedlings emerge in 5-8 days at 70º F. They do best covered lightly with soil. Alternatively, sow directly outside from early April.
Transplant seedlings by at least Midsummer. They grow best at 55º to 65º F. Do not let seedling become more than 5 weeks old because older seedlings do not mature well transplanted.
Set plants 18" apart in rows 24" apart. Transplant seedlings in late June for Oct - Nov head harvest.
