At 4th true leaf, spray with water-soluble fertilizer high in phosphorus and potassium (e.g., 1-2-2 or 10-20-20). Avoid nitrogen. Mulch with straw or leaves. Plants reach average size in 8 weeks, produce until frost.

Key Tips

• Phosphorus → flowers → fruit.
• Potassium → strong roots.
• Mulch conserves moisture, moderates temperature.

Consistent feeding and mulching yield fiery harvests.
