Growing Habits & Planting Instructions:

• Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures are above 50°F.
• Spacing: Space plants 24-36 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart. Provide sturdy stakes, cages, or trellises to support heavy fruit.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply at the base to avoid wetting leaves.
• Care Tips: Enrich soil with compost or organic matter before planting. Prune suckers and lower leaves to improve airflow and focus energy on fruit production. Harvest fruits when they are fully colored and slightly soft to the touch.
