Sow seeds directly into warm soil (above 20°C) after the last frost.
-
Plant seeds ½–1 inch deep, spacing them 12–15 inches apart in rows.

Soak seeds for 12–24 hours to speed up germination.
Sunlight & Soil Requirements:

Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.
-
Use a trellis or support for vine growth.
-
Apply organic compost every 15–20 days for better yield.
Harvesting Tips:
-
Ready for harvest 55–70 days after sowing.
-
Pick fruits when young and tender (before seeds harden).
-
Frequent harvesting encourages continuous fruiting.
