This time around, you have to be ready with the area where you would want it planted. It should be a slightly lighted area in the backyard, or a slightly shaded part. You have to dig an opening of ¼ inch in depth. You have to put one seed for each hole. You have to cover the actual seed completely with the damp soil.
