Select a sunny location with well-drained soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 12 inches and removing any weeds or debris. Seeds can be started indoors about 12 weeks before the last frost date, transplanting seedlings outdoors once they have developed several true leaves. Space the seedlings 15 to 18 inches apart in rows or a grid pattern, ensuring they have ample room to grow. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season, providing about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4 to 6 weeks to promote healthy growth.
