GROWING

• Water the seedlings regularly throughout the growing season. They require about 1 inch of water per week for best growth.
• Thin seedlings to 6 inches apart so that they have room to develop healthy leaves.
• Once the plants are established, they do not need as much water per week. Keep them moist, but be careful not to overwater them.
• Fertilize once or twice during the growing season with nitrogen fertilizer. Apply 1/4 cup of fertilizer per 25 feet of row. Be sure not to over-fertilizer the plants.
• To help prevent weeds, mulch around the plants as soon as they are visible above the soil. You can also till shallowly to help prevent root damage from weeds.
