Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a sterile seed-starting mix, keep consistently moist, and provide warmth for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into larger pots and harden off gradually before moving outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Plant in a sunny location with well-draining soil, spacing plants 24–36 inches apart. Provide sturdy support such as cages or stakes. Water regularly, aiming for about 1–2 inches per week, and feed with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks. Mulch to retain moisture and reduce weeds. Harvest fruits when they are fully colored and slightly soft to the touch.
