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 18–24 inches apart in full sun. Determinate — plants set fruit over a concentrated period, ideal for canning and preserving. Water consistently. Harvest when the fruits are fully red and firm.
