Product details
How
For early sowing, raise in pots of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix in a well-lit, protected spot. Transplant after 3-4 weeks. For direct sowing press 3-4 seeds into mounds of moist soil 70cm apart. Later thin to the two strongest plants. Alternatively, sow direct into 40cm pots.
Care
Select a Sunny, well-drained position. Add compost and Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone before sowing. Keep well watered at base of plant. Pick fruit when small for best yield and flavour.
Hint
Great companion plant for Beans, corn, radish, basil and nasturtium. For a heavier crop, brush pollen from male flowers onto female flowers (with swollen base). Keep well mulched.
Storage
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
