Germination

If planting early sow indoors into individual pots of seed compost, 20mm deep, plant seed on its side place under glass at 21°C and keep moist. When 2 true leaves appear prick off into 8cm pots. Acclimatise in May-June before planting out in final position. Can be sown directly from Apr-May 20mm deep, 2-3 seeds together to encourage pollination, 60cm apart.

Growing

Keep well watered, can be fed weekly.

Cultivation

Harvest as required. Cool summer weather can inhibit growth as this plant needs pollination to fruit. The fruit is mature when your thumbnail is easily pushed through the skin near the stalk. Regular harvesting will prolong the fruiting window.
