Growing Notes

Direct sow outdoors after last frost when soil has warmed to at least 65°F, or start indoors 3–4 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds 1 inch deep in fertile, well-draining soil. Space plants 36–48 inches apart in full sun — provide ample room for vines. Water consistently. Harvest when the rind is hard and fully colored. Cure in a warm, dry location for 2–3 weeks before storage for best flavor and shelf life.
