Sow seeds indoors in 50-cell plug trays with 1 to 2 seeds per cell, 3 to 4 weeks before your planned transplant date. Maintain temperatures above 70°F during the day and no lower than 60°F at night to ensure vigorous germination and growth.
Transplant outdoors once soil and air temperatures have warmed sufficiently, spacing plants 12 inches apart in rows 5 to 6 feet apart. Handle transplants carefully to avoid disturbing the root ball, which can slow establishment.
Begin picking fruit daily once flowering begins. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to continue setting new fruit throughout the season. Harvest at the size appropriate for your intended use, whether fresh slicing or pickling.
