A fantastic variety for a prolific harvest. Pick regularly when they are around 15cm long to encourage higher yields and to keep the fruit tasty. Keep well watered for delicious fruit. Flowers can be picked young and stuffed for a different meal. Hand pollination may be necessary if you are short on pollinators. This can be done by removing a male flower and rubbing the stamen against a female (the one with the mini fruit forming below). Try to water from the ground up, without wetting the leaves to prevent powdery mildew.
