Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix, keeping the soil warm and consistently moist. Germination typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions.

When danger of frost has passed, transplant into the garden in full sun, spacing plants 24-36 inches apart. Provide sturdy support such as cages or stakes for the indeterminate vines. Water regularly, avoiding overhead watering to reduce disease risk. Mulch to retain moisture and keep weeds down. Fertilize lightly at planting and again when fruits begin to set.
