GROWING TIPS
Plant seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked, roughly 2 weeks before average last frost date. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 60-70°F. Thin seedlings to 6-12" after first true leaves appear. Or, start seed indoors 3-5 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Harden off plants prior to transplanting outside. Transplant to the garden 1-2 weeks after your average last frost date.

All the seeds I planted in part shade happily trailed up and over everything I gave them to climb. I wish I had given them more structure to trellis. My kids loved their "hairy" flowers!
Their flavor was strongly horse-radishy. A little too bitter to be a salad green.
The seeds planted in full sun sprouted, then died. Give them shade!
