Planting Tips:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures remain above 50°F. Provide sturdy cages or stakes, as plants are indeterminate and produce large, heavy fruit throughout the season. Water consistently and mulch to help retain moisture and reduce fruit cracking. Harvest when fruits develop their rich mahogany coloring and yield slightly to gentle pressure for the best flavor.
