Scatter seeds evenly and cover lightly with about 1\/8 inch of soil. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and place in a warm, bright location. Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, place the container where your cat can access it. For outdoor planting, sow directly in a prepared bed after the last frost, spacing seeds according to the recommended distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maintain a steady supply, sow a new batch every few weeks. Water regularly during dry spells, and trim back spent foliage to encourage fresh growth.
