Sow under cover March-May, or May-June in-situ. Sow seeds on their sides, 12mm deep in individual pots. Keep at a minimum temperature of 10°C.

Aftercare:
Plants will need protection from slugs and snails. Prone to powdery mildew. Water at the base rather than on leaves. Cut fruit from vine with a 5cm of stalk left on. Cure fruit in sun for 5 days before using.
