Gardener's Notes: Warm season crop. Start seeds indoors in a container of seed starting mix 6 weeks before day and night temperatures are evenly in the 10C (50F) range. Keep moist but not soggy and very warm (24-27C/75-80F). When seedlings are 2 inches tall, transplant into larger individual containers. Plant outdoors in rich soil in full sun only when night temperatures stay above 13C (55F). Provide tall cages or stakes at planting time. Water regularly. Pick when fruits are fully red and give slightly to the touch.
