The plants offer great coverage for the maturing fruit, and are vigorous all season, thanks to tolerance of Tobamo Po virus. We have given Big Bertha our Park High-Performer stamp of approval for both yield and flavor!
Start seeds indoors or, in climate with short growing seasons, outdoors at least one week after last frost. If starting indoors, allow 7 to 10 weeks for the seeds to mature into seedlings large enough to transplant safely. Set seedlings (or thin direct-sown seedlings) 2 feet apart in full sun. If planting many seedlings, space rows about 3 feet apart. Fertilize when the blooms appear, and water well. Fruit is most nutritious if allowed to ripen on the plant. Pkt is 100 seeds.
