Farming method
Sow indoors 6 to 8 weeks before planting time, about 1 cm deep in warm potting soil. Maintain a temperature of 27–31°C to optimize germination, which occurs in 7 to 21 days. Harden off seedlings to 18–19°C before transplanting outdoors once all risk of frost has passed. Provide full sun (level 3) and moderate watering (level 2). Space plants 30–45 cm apart, with 45–60 cm between rows. Compact plants do not usually require staking unless under exceptional load.
Harvesting and preservation
