How to use

Sow seeds after the last frost when soil temperatures are consistently warm. Plant seeds in individual pots for early start or directly in prepared soil at recommended spacing to allow vine growth. Maintain even moisture during germination and early development, and transplant seedlings carefully if started indoors. Provide support or allow vines to trail, and apply mulch to conserve moisture and reduce weeds. Monitor fruits for even ripening and harvest when aroma and skin texture indicate maturity.

Usage recommendations

For best results, choose a sunny, sheltered spot and enrich planting soil with organic matter. Start seeds indoors 3–4 weeks before the last expected frost in cooler areas, and acclimate seedlings before transplanting. Space plants to allow good air circulation and reduce disease risk. Keep consistent watering, and avoid overhead irrigation during fruiting to minimize cracking and rot.
