Sowing Tips
Soil Temperature
Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 60°F for reliable germination and early growth.
Expert Note
Start seeds far enough ahead for strong root systems, then transplant only when soil is reliably warm (~60°F+) to avoid stunting and maximize early yield.
