Growing Instructions:
- Seed Starting: Start indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a high-quality seed-starting mix. Use a tray for bottom watering to avoid disturbing the seeds.
- Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors after the last frost when nighttime temperatures are consistently above 55°F. Space plants 18-24 inches apart.
- Sunlight: Full sun (6-8 hours daily).
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Always water at the base of the plant to keep foliage dry.
- Support: Use stakes or cages to support plants as they grow taller and begin fruiting.
