Optionally, start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost and transplant after the weather warms up. A frost will kill these, especially when they are young. Retain a high soil moisture level. Fertilize periodically. We suggest training it to climb a vertical support for increased air circulation, more attractive fruits, and an easier harvest. Avoid standing water near roots.
