Sow a few seeds on a hill 9 to 12 inches high and 1 foot in diameter. Choose an area with full sun once all danger of frost has passed. Thin out up to 3 plants per hill about 2.5cm (1") high. When the vines are 10cm (3") high, thin out so that one plant, the strongest, remains on each hill. Use a heavy organic mulch to control weeds. After harvest, let stand in the garden for a few days until the skin hardens, then store in a cool, dry place.
Seeding depth: 2.5cm (1")
Space between plants: 60 to 90cm (24 to 36")
Space between rows: 1.5 to 1.8m (5 to 6')
Beginning in late summer, remove flowers or new fruit to promote the growth of already formed fruit.
