How to Sow and Plant

Start seeds indoors about 6–8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting trays or pots filled with a sterile seed-starting mix.

Maintain soil warmth and consistent moisture until germination (typically 7–14 days).

Once seedlings have true leaves and frost danger has passed, transplant them outdoors into prepared beds or containers with adequate spacing.

How to Grow

Plant in a location receiving at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Provide support with stakes, cages, or trellises for indeterminate growth.

Apply balanced fertilizer during the growing season to promote healthy growth and fruit production.

Tips

Avoid over-watering to prevent root diseases and stress.

Prune excess suckers to focus plant energy on fruiting.

Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

Harden off seedlings gradually before final outdoor planting.
