3. Thinning
Space plants 24-36 inches apart, ensuring they have plenty of room to stretch.
4. Care
Provide a strong trellis or support. Water consistently, keeping soil moist but not waterlogged.
5. Harvesting
For eating, harvest when 10-14 inches long and the skin is soft. For crafting, leave on the vine until the stems dry and turn brown.
