Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Maintain soil temperatures between 70–85°F for best germination. Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures remain above 50°F.

Harvest when fruits develop their characteristic dark coloration and yield slightly to gentle pressure.
