Gardener’s Notes:Plant seeds 1 inch apart in well-drained soil in a sunny spot. Keep evenly moist – germination often takes 2 to 3 weeks. Thin seedlings to final 1.5 foot spacing to mature. Once established, plants are drought tolerant. Harvest fresh leaves to use as needed; hang to dry for future use.
