• Planting of seedlings in open ground is carried out in late May – early June, when the plants have 3-4 true leaves.
• Planting pattern: 100x100 cm.
• In the southern regions, direct sowing of seeds into the ground is possible (April-May).

When grown under plastic covers, plants are trained into a single stem (all side shoots are removed up to a height of 50 cm, and subsequent shoots are pinched off above the first to third leaf) and tied to a trellis. This will ensure optimal light and ventilation for the fruit.
