Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep consistently moist at around 75°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into larger pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Provide a sunny location with well-drained soil and support plants with stakes or cages as they grow.

Water regularly to maintain even moisture, especially during fruit development, and mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize according to soil test recommendations. Monitor for common pests and diseases, and prune suckers if desired to improve airflow. Harvest fruit when fully colored and slightly soft to the touch.
