It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.

If sowing after Spring, cold stratification may be needed for seeds to break dormancy and initiate germination. If sowing after Spring, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 30 days before direct sowing. Add 1/2" - 3/4" layer of peat moss, sawdust, or potting soil to top of mostly sunny and clear area. Broadcast seeds then water to push seeds into area. Do not work soil too much. Contain growing area to prevent invasive spread. Planting Depth: 1/8 inch Within-Row Spacing: 12 inches Between-Row Spacing: 2 feet Care During the Season: Watering: Water plants moderately.
