Growing guide
- Sowing
Plant seed outdoors in a sunny location after danger of frost is past or start indoors 4 weeks earlier. 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 8 feet apart each way.
- Thinning
Thin when plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, leaving 3 to 4 strongest plants in each hill.
- Germination
10 to 15 days depending on soil temperature and conditions.
- Remarks
Allow fruits to remain on vine until fully matured. Gather before frost, leaving part of the stem attached to the fruit. Handle carefully and store in a moderately warm, dry place during winter.
