Prefer loose, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter, and full sun exposure. Ensure good air circulation to prevent disease, and water regularly to maintain consistent moisture.
Harvest the fruits when they are well formed, their skin is hard and uniform in color. Store them in a cool, dry place to enjoy their unique texture throughout the winter.
