Growing Information:

Season: Best planted in early to late winter.

Timing: Start seeds early to ensure fruiting in the first season. Seeds benefit from vernalization to break dormancy.

Starting Instructions:

Vernalization: Seal seed packets in a plastic bag or airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 weeks.
Temperature Adjustment: Allow seeds to reach room temperature over a day or two before opening the package.
Sowing: Sow seeds on the surface of pre-moistened seed starting mix in trays or small containers. Maintain a constant temperature of 18-24°C (65-75°F).
Lighting: Keep trays under bright fluorescent lights and ensure the mix stays moist.
Germination: Germination can take 7 to 42 days. Increase ventilation once seeds germinate to prevent damping off.

Growing Tips:

Transplanting: Move seedlings to individual pots after the third true leaf appears. Harden off gradually before transplanting outdoors.
Spacing: Space transplants 60cm (24") apart in rows 90-120cm (36-48") apart.
Soil: Use well-drained, sandy loam enriched with organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure.
Feeding: Dig 60mL (1/4 cup) of complete organic fertilizer into the soil beneath each transplant.
Watering: Keep soil moist but not soggy. Mulch with straw to help retain moisture.
