Sow indoors

Sow seeds in individual 9cm (3.5in) pots filled with seed compost. Push these large seeds on their side into the compost to a depth of 2cm (1/2in). Place in a warm environment 15-18°C (60-65°F).

Plant out

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out 90cm (36in) apart.

Sow outdoors

In May, water 2cm (1/2in) deep rows well. Sow three seeds together at 90cm (36in) intervals or one set of three seeds in the centre of a large container. After germination pinch out the two weaker seedlings of the groups of three, leaving the strongest at each station.

Tips

Water regularly and feed with liquid fertiliser as fruits begin to swell.
