Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date, once soil has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C). Plant 2-3 seeds per hill, 1 inch deep, spacing hills 4-6 feet apart. For earlier harvests, start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before transplanting. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide plenty of space for vines to spread. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvest when the rind is hard and the stem begins to dry. Cure in a warm, dry place for 7-10 days to improve storage life. Store in a cool, dry location.
