Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in a seed-starting mix, keep moist, and maintain a warm temperature (75–85°F) for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off for the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Set plants in full sun with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower. Harvest fruits when they reach full color and size for fresh use or allow them to ripen fully on the plant for maximum sweetness.
