Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix, keep moist, and provide warmth (70–85°F) for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into larger pots and acclimate them gradually to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
Provide a sunny location with well-drained soil and consistent moisture. Stake or cage indeterminate vines to keep fruit off the ground and improve air circulation. Water regularly, avoiding overhead watering to reduce disease risk. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly every few weeks, and harvest fruits when they turn golden-orange and slightly soft for the best flavor.
