Growing Info: Sow inside Mar-May in individual pots of quality seed compost. Sow the seeds on their side to prevent rot 12-15mm deep. Germination requires 18-20°C. Once seedlings appear with true leaves, pot on and acclimatise before planting out once the risk of frost has passed. Alternatively, sow outdoors late-May-Jun. |

Aftercare: Mulch to retain moisture and feed regularly. Fruit stores well in dry conditions. |
