Tip: In March sow seeds in a well drained seed starting mixture, place in a warm sunny greenhouse, 14 days to germination then transplant to cell packs or individual pots. Transfer seedlings to the garden after the soil warms and threat of frost is past. You may wish to water then lightly in severe drought.
