Growing Tips

• Watering: Water regularly to keep soil moist, especially during flowering. Avoid over-watering as it can affect pollination.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer, but avoid high nitrogen, which promotes foliage over flowers and pods.
• Weed Control: Mulching helps retain moisture and reduce weed growth around seedlings.

Harvesting

• Timing: Harvest around 60 days after planting when pods are filled out but still tender. Test ripeness by snapping a pod; if it breaks cleanly, it’s ready.
• Method: Use scissors or pruners to snip pods rather than pulling to avoid damaging the vines. Harvesting frequently encourages continued production.
