Growing guide

Sowing

Plant seed outdoors in late spring when the ground is warm and all danger of frost is past. Make a group of 3–5 seeds placed in a ring about six inches across; cover with 1/2 inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Each ring of seeds is called a hill, and hills should be spaced 3 to 4 feet apart each way.

Thinning

When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, leave the 2 or 3 strongest plants in each hill.

Germination

10 to 14 days depending on soil and temperature conditions.

Remarks

Plants continue to produce tender, vitamin-rich fruit until frost if all fruit are picked before they mature. Fruits are best picked when they are 6–8 inches long.
