Start seed indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 50-85 degrees. Transplant to the garden 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost. If direct seeding, sow seeds 3 to 5 weeks prior to average last frost or as soon as the soil can be worked. For fall harvest, plant transplants 7-9 weeks before average first frost date.
