Choose a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil enriched with compost. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 6 inches and removing any weeds or debris. Sow the seeds directly into the soil, planting them about 1/4 inch deep and spacing them 8 to 12 inches apart in rows or a grid pattern. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period. Once the seedlings emerge, thin them to maintain a final spacing of about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow room for growth. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weed growth, and fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every 4 to 6 weeks.
