Gardener’s Notes: In early spring, start indoors 6 weeks before night temperatures reach 55°F (13°C). Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and 1 inch apart in seedstarting mix. Keep moist and warm and provide a strong light source. When seedlings are 2 inches tall, transplant into 4-inch pots. Maintain at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Feed with half-strength fertilizer every 2 weeks. Once nights are 55°F (13°C), acclimate to outdoor conditions. Transplant 2 feet apart into rich, fertile soil in full sun. Cage like a tomato or let sprawl.
