Sow seeds for transplant about 5 weeks before setting out in frost free garden setting. Transplant in a sunny location in 5-foot rows with a 15-18 inch spacing.

Harvest the boat-shaped fruit when the reach a deep yellow color, but are still slightly firm to the touch. Enjoy fresh or cooked in soups and sauces.
