| Neutral | On Oct 21, 2004, trifunov from Brandon, MS (Zone 8a) wrote: These are hard to germinate, and should be soaked for 24hrs before sowing. Germination takes about 21 days. Harvest after 65-135 days. Sow outside 4-6 weeks before last spring frost, spacing plants 4in apart. Can also be grown as a fall crop and left in the ground until harvested. |
