Step 3: Sow the Seeds
Fill a seed tray or pot with a clean, well-draining seed-starting mix. Sow seeds shallowly and cover them lightly with growing medium. Water gently to settle the soil without washing the seeds away.

Step 5: Transplant Young Plants
Once seedlings have developed several true leaves and are strong enough to handle, move them into individual pots. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in their permanent location.
