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 indoors on schedule, then transplant only once nights are consistently above 50°F and the soil is reliably warm (around 60°F+) to prevent stunting.
