Growing and care

Pharaoh is distinguished by its unpretentiousness and cold resistance, which makes it possible to grow it in the northern regions with difficult climatic conditions.

On the garden bed, a 70x70 cm planting scheme is used. Choose a sunny place. Beans, corn, radishes, sunflowers, and nasturtium will become good "neighbors" on the site. Poor zucchini compatibility with potatoes.

The bushes should be regularly and abundantly watered with settled water under the root. Agrotechnical care is simple: hilling, removing leaves with excessive growth of the bush, timely collection of fruits to stimulate the formation of new ovaries.
