🌞 Growing Instructions

Start Indoors
Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost. Use seed-starting mix and keep soil moist until germination.

Transplant Outdoors
After the final frost date, plant seedlings in full sun with well-draining soil. Space plants 18–24 inches apart.

Care Tips
Water regularly and deeply, especially during dry spells. Though the plants are bushy, using a small cage or stake can help support fruit-heavy branches.

Harvesting
Pick fruits when fully red and firm for the best flavor and texture.
