Growing tips
<p>Direct sow 2-3 seeds 2-3 cm deep per spot, spacing plants 60-90 cm apart as they need room; thin to the strongest seedling. Germination takes <strong>7-14 days</strong> in warm soil. Hand-pollinate flowers in the early morning if fruit set is poor. Harvest fruits young and tender at 15-20 cm, about <strong>45-60 days</strong> from sowing; pick frequently to keep the plant producing.</p>
