Gardener Tips
Seeds should be planted indoors on a tabletop dome with heated mat for 4-8 weeks.
It is key that your new starts be hardened off. This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure.
- Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day
- One week minimum is recommended
- Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight
- Keep an eye on them and constantly water them. Make sure they have not blown over.
Water the base of plant only.
Mulch at the base of the plant. Read our blog post on The Power of Mulching
Harvesting Tips
Harvest when fruit is fully mature and red.
