Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Soak Seeds: Soak seeds in warm water for 4-6 hours before planting to improve germination.
Sowing:
Timing: Start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly in the garden after the last frost when the soil temperature is at least 70°F (21°C).
Depth & Spacing: Plant seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep. Space them 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 meters) apart in rows spaced 6-8 feet (1.8-2.4 meters). For hills, sow 4-5 seeds per hill and thin to the strongest 2-3 plants.

Conditions: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Temperature: Ideal germination occurs at 70-90°F (21-32°C). Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days.
Transplanting (if started indoors):
Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have 2-3 true leaves and all frost danger has passed.
Hardening Off: Gradually expose seedlings to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before transplanting.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Water deeply at the base to keep soil consistently moist, particularly during flowering and fruit setting stages.
Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
Support: Use trellises or vertical supports to save space and train vines to grow upward.
