Learn To Grow It
This crop does not transplant well so make sure to direct seed in your garden as soon as the soil can be worked (about 2 weeks before the last expected frost date).
As this plant grows it may need support in the form of a trellis to keep the vines off the ground. You won’t need to fertilize this crop in order to get a healthy yield.
