Growing Tips:
Plant 5-8 seeds in 12" mounds, space 6' apart in all directions. Thin to healthiest. Heavy feeder, add compost and mulch at base. Heat loving fruit! Use trellis, if needed, for support. Place boards under fruit to protect against moister.
If starting seeds indoors, it is key that your new starts be hardened off. This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure.
- Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day
- One week minimum is recommended
- Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight
- Keep an eye on them and constantly water them. Make sure they have not blown
