Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and promote faster germination.
Sowing:
Direct Sowing: Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date, when soil temperatures are consistently warm (above 65°F or 18°C).
Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Use seed trays or pots filled with seed-starting mix.
Germination:
Depth: Plant seeds 1 inch deep.
Spacing: Space seeds 4-6 feet apart in rows that are 8-10 feet apart.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly to ensure even moisture during the germination period.
Transplanting:
When to Transplant: If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors when they have at least two sets of true leaves and the risk of frost has passed.
How to Transplant: Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week before transplanting. Space transplants 4-6 feet apart in rows that are 8-10 feet apart.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods. 
Mulching: Use mulch around plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Support: Provide a sturdy trellis, fence, or pergola for the vines to climb.
