Growing Instructions

Direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed, or start indoors 2–4 weeks early and transplant carefully. Sow seeds ½–1 inch (1.3–2.5 cm) deep in rich, well‑drained soil with plenty of sun. Space plants 24–36 in (60–90 cm) apart to allow airflow and room for bush growth. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest fruits when about 6–8 in (15–20 cm) long for the best texture and flavour; frequent picking encourages continued production.
