There is no need to start any earlier as leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can cause stunting and reduce early production (we even prefer small transplants). Once germinated, g\u003cspan\u003erow at 60–70°F.  At first true leaf, pot-up to 50-cell trays or 4\" pots. Always bury all the way up to first set of leaves to develop strong root system (plants develop roots from stems).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe mostly grow indeterminate varieties, which are vine-like plants that continue to grow throughout the season. It's best to provide support, such as a tomato cage, trellis, basket weave, or string and clip system (anything they can grow up vertically). Indeterminates benefit by removing all suckers directly below the first flower cluster. Once fruit beings to set, we also prune out any leaves below to encourage air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-center para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eHarvest \u0026amp; Storage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003eOnce established, harvest leaves before flowering begins. Leaves can be harvested 3–4 times per year, cut at ground level. Leaves may be used fresh or dried. To dry, cut bundles into 1\/4–1\/2\" lengths.  Dry on a screen surfaced out of direct sunlight in an area with good ventilation.
