Use liquid fertilizer once germinated & transplant when all danger of frost has passed & the soil is warm. Space plants 40-60 cm apart in full sun, in rich soil & stake. Plants generally, reach about 60cm in height. Keep well fertilized & watered. Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers as these will promote leaf growth at the expense of fruit. Pick early fruit to encourage more fruiting. In fruit fly areas, the fruit should be protected by bagging.
