How to Grow
Position
Full Sun
How
Choose a sunny, well-drained position and mix Yates Dynamic Lifter into the soil. Sow seed direct where the plants are to grow, sowing 2-3 seeds at each position and later thin to the strongest plant. Or raise seedlings in small pots of Yates Seed Raising Mix. Transplant seedlings into their final position when 5 cm tall. When growing in pots, choose a pot at least 30 cm in diameter and fill with Yates Premium Potting Mix. Keep the soil or potting mix consistently moist.
Care
Feed plants every fortnight with Yates Thrive Flower & Fruit Soluble Fertiliser. Protect from snails and slugs with Yates Snail & Slug Bait.
Hint
Pick young and tender fruit anytime up to 20 cm long. Mature fruit can develop interesting bumps on the skin. Regular picking will promote a longer harvest.Yates seed is tested and proven. We will gladly replace any packet that does not perform to your satisfaction.
