Growing Tips:
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Maintain a germination temperature of 21 to 24 °C (70 to 75 °F). Harden off seedlings and transplant them into well-drained soil in full sun after the risk of frost has passed. Harvest fruits when they fall to the ground, their husks becoming dry and beige.
