How to grow

Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost and transplant after the soil warms, planting deep. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and water consistently to limit cracking. Stake or cage the vigorous indeterminate vines, which produce heavy clusters until frost. Pick often to keep them coming.
