Lightly scarify seeds with sand paper and soak for 12 hours to enhance germination. Start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date to get a head start. Not frost tolerant. Transplants well, but can also be direct sown after last frost date. Harvest continually to keep plants productive. For seed harvest, leave pods on plant to dry down.
