Planting Instructions:
- Seed Starting: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep the soil evenly moist.
- Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 24-36 inches apart in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil.
- Sunlight: Requires full sun (6-8 hours daily).
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Water at the base to prevent wet foliage.
- Support: Use stakes, cages, or trellises to support the tall vines and prevent heavy fruits from bending the stems.
- Harvesting: Pick when fruits are firm, with a golden hue and red marbling fully developed.
