Growing notes and setup

Start Juliet seeds indoors for an early head start, then transplant into warm soil after the last frost. Direct outdoor sowing is also possible in well-prepared beds once soils have warmed. Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep to encourage even germination and steady emergence as soil temperatures rise.

Gardeners often find Juliet promising for ongoing harvests, with a sweet flavor that suits a variety of kitchen uses from fresh eating to simple preparations.
