SOW       April to May

HARVEST       October

TYPE          Summer Maincrop

WHERE TO SOW:

Sow 2 or 3 seeds into a 9cm pot under glass at 20°C. Late May sowings can be made direct into soil 5cm apart in a cold frame.

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

As soon as first true leaves appear, prick off into individual 9cm pots. Gradually harden off before planting in the growing site 60cm apart in late May. Cold frame sowings can be gradually hardened off and transplanted when large enough. Water regularly.

HANDY TIP:  As the plant has a trailing habit it needs a lot of space or take out the growing point after 3 or 4 fruits.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE:  A good source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins B1, C and E.
