Growing tips

Sensitive to frost at temperatures <10°C. Prefers a sheltered, sunny location. Water and fertilize regularly. Pre-cultivation is recommended as this brings an earlier harvest. The seeds can be pre-swollen and then planted in the soil with the tip pointing downwards. Harden off before planting out. Harvest the fruits until the first frost.
