Care instructions
General information

Spring crops can be started inside up to 6 weeks before last frost but don't transplant until after last frost to prevent bolting. Sow seeds ¼ to ½ inch (7 to 13 mm) deep in rows 18 to 30 inches (45 to 75 cm) apart. Thin or plant transplants 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) apart depending on the size of your variety. Follow the same procedure for fall crops planting out 4 to 6 weeks before your first frost. Water well and mulch to help guard against bolting.
