Growing Notes

Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in fertile, well-draining soil. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed, spacing plants 24–36 inches apart in full sun. Stake or cage — large fruits need support. Water consistently and deeply. Harvest when fruits are fully glossy red and give slightly to gentle pressure.
