Sow in May and June for early transplanting, and in August and September for a later 
crop. Sow thinly and shade during the hot months. When the plants are six inches high, 
transplant into trenches about four inches deep, nine wide and two and a half feet apart, made 
very rich by digging in rotten manure. Plants should be from 6 to 8 inches apart. When 
planted out during the hot months, the trenches require to be shaded, which is generally done
