Sowing and Growing

Wait until the soil has warmed, then sow at the depth and spacing printed on the current seed packet. A trellis can improve access, save ground space, and help keep fruit straight, but the support should be installed without damaging established roots. Keep the root zone evenly moist without leaving it waterlogged.

Check vines often once fruit begins to size and harvest at the length and texture recommended on the packet. Growing time and yield vary with temperature, pollination, water, soil, and care. Use the packet as the authority for seed count, germination range, maturity, and any variety-specific instructions.
