• Plant seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
• Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in moist soil.
• Place the container in a warm location (70-80°F) with bright light.
• Keep the soil moist, but not soggy.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when they are 8-10 inches tall.
• Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart in full sun locations with well-drained soil.

Growing:
• Water plants regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
• Mulch around plants to help retain moisture and control weeds.
• Fertilize every 2-3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10 or 5-10-5.
• Prune off suckers (side shoots) as needed to encourage larger fruit production.
• Stake or cage plants to provide support for the heavy fruits as they develop.
