How to grow
Sow seed direct in mounds of rich, well-drained soil once the soil warms in spring, spacing 1m apart. Keep well-watered during growth and mulch to conserve moisture. Train vines across bare ground or supports to save space. Harvest when skins harden and the stalk dries off. Store in a cool, dry place for months of use.
