Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Before sowing, scarify the seeds by lightly scratching them with sandpaper or soaking them in warm water overnight. This helps break the seed coat and aids in germination.

Sowing:

Sow the seeds indoors in early spring or directly outdoors after the last frost date.

Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in pots or directly into well-drained, fertile soil.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Germination typically occurs within 3-4 weeks, but it may vary, so be patient and maintain consistent moisture levels.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are strong enough to handle, transplant them into their permanent location.

Provide support like trellises or stakes for the vines to climb.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist.

Mulch around the base of the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Prune lightly in early spring to maintain shape and encourage new growth.

Happy Gardening!
