Indoor Sowing (Recommended):

• Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
• Sow ¼ inch deep in seed trays or containers filled with well-draining soil.
• Maintain soil temperature at 70-85°F (21-29°C) for best germination.

Germination:

• Keep soil moist but not waterlogged for the best results.

Transplanting:

• Harden off seedlings 7-10 days before transplanting by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions.
• Transplant when seedlings are 6-8 inches tall, burying them deep with only the top few leaves above ground to encourage strong root development.

Spacing & Growing Conditions:

• Within Rows: 24-36 inches apart
• Between Rows: 36-48 inches apart
• Support: Use stakes, cages, or trellises to support vines and prevent sprawling.

Care & Maintenance:

• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer (5-10-10) before planting, then a phosphorus-rich feed when flowering begins.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Pruning: Remove suckers (small shoots between the stem and branches) for better airflow and fruit production.
• Pollination: Encourage bees and hand-pollinate if needed for better fruit set.
