It has tender skin and the flesh has an excellent flavour which is not bitter or indigestible. Grow on trellises for straighter fruit.
When to plant: Spring and early Summer How to grow: Sow seeds into prepared beds directly when the weather has warmed up. Make sowings of 2-3 seeds per position and space positions 30cm apart. Thin to the strongest seedling once they have germinated and provide solid support for the plants to climb on. Supply weekly liquid feeds once flowers form. In cooler districts, best results may be obtained by starting the seeds in pots early in the season and planting out in late October. Harvest: Summer to late Autumn
