2. Sowing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date. Sow seeds 1 inch deep in seed-starting trays or pots with seed-starting mix. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.

5. Care and Maintenance:
   • Provide support for vines with trellises or stakes.
   • Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, especially during dry periods.
   • Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
   • Monitor for pests and diseases, treating promptly if necessary.
