{"product_id":"caraway","title":"Caraway","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese seeds are a favorite addition to a number of vegetable and pasta dishes. Caraway has feathery, carrot like leaves, and white flower umbels, all of which are also eaten. A herb worth growing, needing a little patience because it does take two seasons for the harvest of seeds, but well worth the fresh Caraway flavor. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e100 seeds\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(50, 113, 56);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCarum Carvi\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBiennial, zones 3-9 \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e7-14 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 60-65ºF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Planting Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e  ⅛” deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStarting Indoors:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStart indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost.
