Sow outdoors, May-June, where they are to grow, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Allow 90cm (3') between sowing positions. Sow two seeds on edge per position. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Thin to leave the stronger plant. Water well until established. Or, sow indoors, April-May, 1.5cm (½") deep, on edge, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out, May-June, 90cm (3') apart, into well-drained soil, when frosts are over. Harvest: September-October. Allow fruit to harden before picking, then dry.
Grow up a trellis or fence, or allow to scramble over the ground. When fruits are dried, they can be varnished to preserve their colours.
