Green Thumb Guide

Plant in enriched garden soil with good drainage after danger of 100° weather has passed. Plant in rows leaving 12" of space between each row. Add fertilizer to soil before transplanting. Water early morning or late evening. Cut back lower most leaves to help spot mature sprouts. Harvest as sprouts mature at about 1"-2" in size.
