Sowing Instructions:
Start seeds indoors 3–4 weeks before the last frost or sow directly after frost has passed.
Plant seeds ½ inch deep in warm, well-drained soil (70–90°F).
Sunlight & Spacing:
Requires full sun (6–8 hours daily).
Space plants 36 inches apart in rows 4–6 feet apart.
Watering & Care:
Keep soil evenly moist during germination and early growth.
Reduce watering as fruits mature to increase sweetness.
Harvesting:
Fruits are ready in 80–90 days when the skin turns beige and the stem slips easily from the vine.
Best harvested early in the morning when fully ripe.
