This is a bush variety and does not trail. Sow seeds in well prepared beds with good organic compost. If you are concerned about pollination and want to get the maximum yield, remove the petals from a male flower and gently insert the core into a female flower. Female flowers are identified by having an immature fruit as a stem, underneath the flower. Use a different male flower to pollinate each female flower.
HARVEST: 12-17 weeks
