SOWING: Seed directly into the garden in late spring after weather has warmed and all danger of frost has passed. Seeds can also be started in individual peat pots indoors or in the greenhouse 2 to 3 weeks before setting out. Cover seeds with 1/2 to 3/4 inch fine soil, well firmed down.
SPACING: Plant about 6 to 8 seeds per hill, spacing hills 3 to 4 feet apart.
THINNING: Thin or transplant to 3 healthiest plants per hill. Leave 18 to 24 inches between plants in rows.
GERMINATION: One to two weeks depending upon weather and soil warmth. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
Ed’s Special Advice: Delicata’s medium length semi-bush vines do not take over the whole garden. Grow in a sunny locations with rich, somewhat moist, and well-drained soil. Harvest and enjoy the earliest fruit, save later maturing fruit for winter harvest. Gather before frost, leaving part of the stem attached. Store in a cool, dry place.
Kevin Nelson –
I have purchased from you in the past and had very good results from your seeds.
Looking forward to enjoying more.
Delicate seeds are impossible to find locally, always have been.
Thank You for supplying these.
