Growing guide

Sowing

Plant seed outdoors in late spring when the ground is warm and frost danger has passed. Make a group of 3 to 5 seeds placed in a ring about 2 inches across. Cover with ½ inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Each ring of seeds is called a hill; space hills 3 to 5 feet apart.

Thinning

When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin to leave the 3 or 4 strongest plants per hill. In containers, thin to 1 or 2 plants depending on container size.

Germination

Germinates in 8 to 10 days depending on soil and weather conditions.

Remarks

A second planting in early summer is recommended for a fall harvest. Pick fruit often and avoid letting them grow too large for best flavor.
