1. Starting Indoors Sow indoors approx 6 weeks prior to the final spring frost. Plant 1/4 inch deep in fine seed-starting soil.
2. Germination Provide steady moisture and a warm room (70-80°F). Seeds generally sprout within 7 to 14 days.
3. Hardening Off Increase the seedlings' exposure to direct sun and wind outside progressively over 7 days.
4. Transplanting Move to their permanent outdoor sunny spot. Space plants 24 inches apart.
5. Care Because these vines are intensely productive and grow quite tall, they must be supported by a trellis or large cage immediately upon planting. Water normally at the base.
