Cultivation Advice

• A sunny spot protected from strong winds is essential.
• The soil should be well drained and rich in humus, the more the better.
• For an early start (late Mar)
• place a single seed edgeways 1/2inch deep in seed compost in a 3inch pot.
• The critical part is temperature, these need at least 65F continuous soil temperature
• (preferably more to maximise germination rates) until germinated.
• Keep the soil moist – water copiously around the plants, not over them.
• Keep weed free to allow air circulation.
• Once the plants start to fruit, feed every 14 days with a tomato type fertilizer,
• these are greedy plants.
