Growing tips

Sensitive to frost temp.<10°C. Prefers sheltered from the wind, sunny place. Water and fertilize regularly. Pre-growing is recommended as this will give an earlier harvest. This can be done by pre-swelling the seeds and then placing them in the soil with the point down. Harden off before planting out. Harvest the fruits until the first frost.
