Start preparing the planting bed prior to planting with some organic compost or aged manure and get rid of weeds and debris if any. Sow seeds at a depth of ½ inch with 8-10 inch spacing. In optimum growing conditions, seeds should start germinating within a week of planting. To save space and avoid fruit rot on moist soil, let the climbing vines grow vertically with the help of some trellises spaced apart in raised beds.
