Green Thumb Guide
Plant in enriched garden soil 1-2 weeks after last frost. Leave 6'-8' of space between each plant. Fertilize when transplanting and when flowers are about to bloom. Plants are dormant in summer and usually begin blooming in fall. Water early morning or late evening. Harvest globes when they reach 4" for best flavor.
