 Gardener’s Notes: Start seeds indoors 6 weeks before last spring frost. Sow 1/4 in. deep & 2 in. apart in seed starting mix. Keep very warm, (80-85F/27-29C). When seedlings have several sets of leaves, transplant into individual containers. When outdoor temps are 55F (13C), acclimate to outdoors. Plant 18-24 in. apart in fertile soil in full sun. Mulch well & fertilize monthly. Harvest at 2-2.5 inches long. Hot, dry conditions develop spiciest flavor.
