Growing guide

🌱Sowing

Plant seed outdoors in late spring when the ground is warm and frost danger has passed. Make a group of 4 to 6 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 4 to 6 feet apart.

✂️Thinning

When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin to leave 3 or 4 strongest plants per hill.

⏱Germination

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

📋Remarks

For best results or limited space, use a trellis or stakes. For best flavor, pick fruits when they are 6 to 8 inches long. Do not allow fruits to grow too large.
