Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours before planting to enhance germination.

Sowing:

Plant seeds directly into the garden or in large pots filled with well-draining soil after the last frost date has passed.
Space seeds about 2 inches (5 cm) apart and 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed 2-3 true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them to their permanent location in the garden or larger containers.
Space plants 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart in rows spaced 4-6 feet (1.2-1.8 m) apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Provide support for vines as they grow; trellises or stakes can help support the heavy fruit.
Water regularly, aiming for about 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) of water per week, adjusting based on weather conditions.
Monitor for pests and diseases, applying appropriate treatments if necessary.
