Culture: Sow beginning in late spring after danger of frost, when soil temperature is at least 70℉. Seeds will rot in cool, wet soil. Sow 3 seeds every 12" (30 cm), 1/2"-1" (2-2.5 cm) deep, in rows 5'-6' (150-180 cm) apart.
Harvest: Sow every 2-3 weeks for consistent supply. Cut or gently twist off young fruit. Handle with care to avoid scratching fruits. Harvest regularly, 2-3 time/week depending on age of plants and daylight. Harvest blossoms at midday, when fully open, for use in salads or for stuffing. Clip flowers from vine 1"-2" (2.5-10 cm) below flower base with sharp scissors or pruners.
