Water: Consistently keeping soil moist, but not wet, will results in good growth and happy plants. 

Planting: Sow seeds directly outside after the soil is warm and there is no danger of frost.  Will not germinate in cooler temperatures. Work in lots of good compost. Create mounds or hills and sow 6 to 8 seeds 2 cm deep in each hill. Thin seedling leaving only 3 or 4 plants per hill. Put trellis in place when planting so vines can grow vertically, ensuring  straight fruit. Or can be started indoors 3 weeks before the last frost.  Harden off* before planting out. 

Harvest: 52 days from planting.  Sow seeds every few weeks for a continual harvest. 

* Hardening off refers to the process of gently and gradually acclimatizing indoor grown seedlings to the great outdoors!  Don't throw your new babies straight into the elements!  Over the course of a week, take them outside for a few hours at a time, bringing them back indoors afterwards.  First sit them in the shade and then slowly introduce them to the sun.  Increase the length of time they are outside and are exposed to the sun, until you feel they are ready to face the big outside world!

Other tips: Cutting when they are shorter increases yield and offers best flavour.
