Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water very often. Keep in mind when planting that Farmer's Long is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors.

Look to ensure a distance 1.95 feet (60.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Farmer's Long about 42 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Farmer's Long is a tender plant.
