For short seasons, start in peat pots one month before the last frost. Transplant or direct sow after frost when soil averages 60°F. Use well-drained, very rich soil and give vines room: space 8-10 feet in rows 10-12 feet apart, or plant two per hill. Sow 1/2 inch deep and thin to the strongest seedlings. Keep soil evenly moist while avoiding wet foliage. Mulch to conserve moisture, control weeds, and keep fruit clean; by midsummer, pinch new blooms to focus energy on sizing fruit.

Expect roughly 110 days to maturity. Harvest when stems begin to dry and the rind resists a fingernail.
