Seed spacing and maturity

Can I plant this now?: Use your local last-frost, first-frost, and soil-temperature checks before treating this crop as plantable today.
Start indoors or direct sow?: Direct sow into the final bed when the soil temperature, seed depth, and moisture are ready.
How much space?: 6 inches in-row spacing, 18 inches between rows, and 1 inch seed depth.
Best companions?: Use this as part of a diverse flowering or herb planting, and treat companion claims as site-specific rather than guaranteed pest control.
