📝 Expert Advice
Use a fertile, well-drained potting soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5; enrich with compost before planting.
Sow in the garden after the last expected frost, when the soil has warmed to at least 15°C (59°F). For earlier harvests in cooler regions, start indoors in seed trays 2 to 3 weeks before transplanting, then move to the garden once the danger of frost has passed. Space plants about 60 cm (24 inches) apart in rows or beds to allow good air circulation. Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy; mulch helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting and in lateral strips during growth; supplement with compost or manure if the soil is poor.
Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds; straw or dried leaves are suitable.
Harvest the fruits when they are 15-20 cm long and still shiny. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut off the fruit with a small part of the stem attached, leaving the plant to continue producing more fruit.
