Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods.
Weeding: Regularly remove weeds around the plants to reduce competition for nutrients.
Support: If growing tall varieties, provide support such as stakes or trellises to prevent bending or breaking in windy conditions.
Harvesting: Harvest seeds when they are mature and dry on the plant. Cut seed heads and allow them to dry further indoors before threshing to remove seeds from the husks.
