Step-by-step

  1. 1. Direct sow 1″ deep, 2″ apart. Soil should be at least 40°F before planting. Black plastic mulch laid two weeks ahead helps in cool springs.
  2. 2. Mulch and water consistently. 2" of straw or wood chip around the base. Drip line at surface. 1" per week including rain.
  3. 3. Harvest around day 60. Trellis from day one — they will find it. Pinch the tops to thicken the vines.
