More suitable predecessors are onions, cucumbers, potatoes, carrots.

Seedlings are planted according to the scheme 60x70 cm together with an earthen lump. Before planting, the planting pits should be abundantly moistened. The planted bushes are sprinkled with soil to the bottom leaf. Follow-up care consists of the following items.

  • Watering. It is a moisture-loving variety. The culture should be watered twice a week with settled warm water, preferably rainwater.It is customary to carry out the procedure in the evening so that the moisture does not evaporate and the leaves do not get burned. Make sure that the jet is directed to the root. During the period of active growth, the plant needs to be watered in a larger volume, and when the fruits ripen, the frequency of moisture should be reduced.
  • Loosening and hilling. After these manipulations, moisture and oxygen freely penetrate to the roots. Weeds are also removed during the procedure. The first hilling is carried out 20 days after transplanting the seedlings, after which the soil is loosened once every two weeks.
  • Top dressing. The first top dressing is applied two weeks after planting in open ground. During this period, manure or bird droppings are suitable. The next fertilizer is used after another 14 days, now you can add nitrophosphate. The third feeding will be required in 2-3 weeks, this time droppings or manure can be mixed with potassium sulfate and superphosphate. It is important to feed the plant after irrigation.
