Sowing is carried out in February-March, a more specific period depends on the climatic conditions where the plant will be cultivated. To germinate seeds, they are placed in a damp cloth for a week, and then sown to a depth of 0.5 cm in containers with a nutrient substrate and moistened. Next, the container is covered with foil, and seedlings are waiting for seedlings to emerge. When the first sprouts appear, the container can be placed on the windowsill, and the film can be removed.

Young seedlings need complex feeding and moderate irrigation; at the stage of the appearance of the first leaves, the bushes are planted in separate containers. About a week before transplanting to the summer cottage, the shoots need to be hardened, that is, put them outside, and every day the time spent in the fresh air should be increased.

The bushes are transplanted onto a bed previously mulched with grass and sawdust - thus the gardener will make it easier for himself to care for the vegetable, namely: he will no longer need to regularly loosen it. The presented variety can be planted according to the 50x50 cm scheme or in rows of 25x50 cm.
