Sow seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Maintain a temperature of 72-80°F for optimum germination in 7-14 days. Transplant seedlings into individual pots once they are 2 inches tall. Wait until all risk of frost has passed before planting outdoors in rich, well-drained soil.
Space plants 2 feet apart to allow good air circulation and place in full sun to maximize fruit production. Regular watering is recommended to keep the soil slightly moist, but avoid wetting the foliage to prevent disease. Although semi-determinate, stake plants for support during heavy production.
