How
For early sowing, raise in pots of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix in a well-lit, protected spot. Transplant after 2-4 weeks. For direct sowing press 3-4 seeds into the center of a shallow depression (so that water is directed to plant roots) on top of a raised mound of moist soil 70cm apart. Later thin to the two strongest plants.
Care
Select a Sunny, well-drained position. Add compost and Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone before sowing and feed regularly. Keep well watered at base of plant. Pick fruit when small and tender for prolonged harvest. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
Great companion plant for Beans, corn, radish, basil and nasturtium. Keep well mulched.
Storage
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
