A seed starter is recommended for early indoor planting about four weeks prior to the last frost. Keep pots, away from drafts, in a sunny location waiting time to transplant outdoors in warm weather. Well-watered, well-drained, moist soil is the best way to start your plant. Allow to ripen well on vine before picking.
