Planting & Care
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when soil temperatures have warmed to at least 70°F (21°C). Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing 3-4 feet apart. Keep soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to the strongest plant per hill.
Provide regular watering, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when vines begin to run. Harvest when the skin is hard and the stem is dry, typically 100-110 days after planting. Store in a cool, dry place for extended shelf life.
