Step-by-step

  1. 1. Direct sow 0.25″ deep, 2″ apart. Soil should be at least 45°F before planting. Black plastic mulch laid two weeks ahead helps in cool springs.
  2. 2. Mulch and water consistently. 2" of straw or wood chip around the base. Drip line at surface. 1" per week including rain.
  3. 3. Harvest around day 70. Don't let the bed dry out before germination — light burlap cover keeps moisture in for the 14-day wait.
