Step 2: Sow the Seeds

Step 3: Provide Light and Grow Healthy Seedlings
Once seedlings emerge, provide strong light from a sunny window or suitable grow light. Water when the surface begins to dry, avoiding excessively wet soil. If multiple seedlings grow together, thin or transplant them carefully to give each plant enough room to develop.

Step 4: Transplant and Support the Plants
Harden off seedlings gradually before moving them outdoors. Transplant into fertile, well-drained soil after cold conditions have passed and temperatures are suitable. Choose a sunny location, leave adequate space between plants, and install sturdy stakes or cages when needed.
