Growing Guide
Season: Warm, frost-free weather after the soil has warmed.
Sowing: Direct-sow or transplant young plugs carefully without damaging roots into fertile, draining soil.
Soil and feeding: Use a well-drained growing medium with mature compost. Feed according to crop needs, soil fertility and the fertiliser label, rather than a fixed schedule for every vegetable.
Care and Harvest Guide
Give vines space or a trellis. Maintain steady moisture; do not assume seedless or parthenocarpic behaviour without packet evidence.
Pick tender fruits regularly before they become overripe; leave fruit size to the variety and intended use.
Follow packet depth and spacing for the actual seed line. Keep the seedbed moist, not saturated, and protect young seedlings from heavy rain.
