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 early, then transplant only once nights are reliably warm and soil is at least 60°F to avoid cold-stunting and to support rapid fruiting.
