Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak Seeds: Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to enhance germination.
Pre-sprout Seeds: For faster germination, you can pre-sprout seeds by placing them on a damp paper towel in a warm location until they begin to sprout.
Sowing:

Timing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep in seed-starting mix or directly in the garden bed.
Spacing: If starting indoors, sow seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. If sowing directly outdoors, space seeds 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart.
Germination:

Temperature: Maintain a soil temperature of 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal germination.
Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days.
Transplanting:

Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have 2-3 sets of true leaves and the risk of frost has passed.
Spacing: Space plants 24-36 inches (60-90 cm) apart to allow for their mature height and spread.
Preparation: Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7-10 days before transplanting.
Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water plants regularly, providing 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) of water per week. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of disease.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Staking: Support plants with stakes or cages to keep them upright and prevent fruit from touching the soil.
Pruning: Prune lower leaves and suckers to improve air circulation and encourage better fruit production.
