Sowing instructions:   Sow outdoors in a well prepared seed bed after all danger of frost is past in a nice sunny spot. Sow 4 to 5 seeds per hill in rows 36 inches apart. Water well. Optimum soil temperature is 70+ degrees F.  If starting indoors, use individual peat pots to minimize root disturbance when transplanting and start them mid-April to early May. Transplant 3 weeks after seeding. 

Plant Care: For the biggest yields place plants in raised composted beds.  Water regularly.  Keep  picked and they’ll keep producing.

Growing Tips:

  • Keep plants well watered
  • If space is limited grow on a trellis or fence
  • Maximize production by harvesting fruits regularly
  • Seed can be sown indoors 3 weeks before last frost date
  • Sow outdoors after last frost and when soil temperature reaches at least 65°
