Growing guide

Sowing

Plant seed outdoors in late spring when ground is warm and all danger of frost is past. Make a group of 3 to 5 seeds placed in a ring about 2 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 6 to 10 feet apart each way.

Thinning

When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin, leaving the 3 strongest plants in each hill.

Germination

7 to 14 days depending on soil and temperature conditions.

Remarks

May also be planted in rows 6–10 feet apart, spacing plants 2–3 feet apart in the row. May also be planted among corn. Cut from vines with pruning shears leaving 3 inches of stem.
