Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Raise seedlings in April–May in peat pots, 1.5–2.5 cm deep, at 24–28 °C to germinate. Sow or plant outdoors after the last frost, when the soil is at least 14–15 °C, about 80 × 20 cm apart.
Watering and feeding. Water with warm water in the morning, regularly and evenly – drought makes fruit bitter and crooked. From the start of flowering feed every 10–14 days with a potassium-rich vegetable fertiliser.
Care. In a greenhouse train the vines up supports or strings; outdoors cover them with fleece at night for the first weeks. Mulch the soil to keep roots moist and fruit clean.
Gardener's tip. Pick often, ideally every day – young fruit tastes best and frequent picking keeps new fruit coming.
