Start seeds indoors in a sterile medium 8-10 weeks before plant out time. Soak seeds for 24 hours in tepid water before sowing. Grow seedlings under bright light with warm temperatures of 24-26C (75-80F) then harden off before transplanting out to a sunny site after all danger of frost has passed. Seed germinates in 7-14 days. Stake plants for extra support. Keep soil evenly moist. When harvesting fruit, cut the stem off 2.5cm (1in) above the fruit. Best flavour is found with firm fruit that has a glossy shine – dull skin is often an indication that the fruit is overripe.
