Plant in full sun with rich, well-drained soil. Start seed indoors in fibre pots 2 weeks before last frost and then transplant outside in June. For direct sowing, start 2 weeks after last frost date when the soil is completely warm. Sow seeds 2.5cm (1in) deep and 60cm (24in) apart in hills spaced 2m (6ft) apart. Plant 4-6 seeds per hill and then thin to 3 plants per hill after germination.
Harvest after vine dies or rind hardens and dulls in colour. Gather before frost, leaving part of the stem attached to the fruit. Fruit will keep for several months in a cool, dry location.
