Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required, but soaking seeds in water for 4-6 hours before planting can help speed up germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and soil temperature reaches at least 70°F (21°C).
Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows. For hills, sow 4-5 seeds per hill, spacing hills 4-6 feet apart. For rows, space seeds 4-6 inches apart in rows 6 feet apart.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
Maintain consistent moisture during the germination period but avoid waterlogging.

Transplanting:

If starting seeds indoors, start them 2-3 weeks before the last expected frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have at least 2-3 true leaves and the weather is warm.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week before transplanting.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during flowering and fruit development, but avoid overwatering.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Support: Provide trellises or allow vines to sprawl on the ground. Trellising can save space and keep fruits cleaner.
Pruning: Remove any weak or diseased vines to promote healthy growth.

Happy Gardening!
