Spacing

  • 8" -12" between rows
  • Minimum of 3’ between each plant
  • Sunny, well drained location is best

Irrigation

  • Irrigate as needed
  • Drip irrigation works well

Fertilization

  • In spring, a light application of compost and bone meal
  • pH: 6.5 – 7.0

Weed Control

  • It’s important to keep plants weed free, especially young plants
  • A light mulch will aid in production, but is not required

Special Considerations

  • Two or more plants are recommended for best production
  • Protect younger plants (1 - 3yrs) from the sun
  • Older plants prefer sun, but grow fine in shade
  • Plants require a pole, trellis or wall to climb
  • Important to provide frost protection during blossom
