Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. When plants have developed 3 or 4 leaves, transplant to 12cm (5”) pots and grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Plant out to large pots, growing bags or greenhouse border. Provide support and train plants up canes, strings or netting. Stop lateral growth two leaves past each fruit. Remove male flowers (those with no swelling behind the petals) as pollinated female flowers produce bitter fruits. Pinch out growing tips when they reach the roof.
