For an early start (late Mar) place a single seed edgeways 1/2inch deep in seed compost in a 3inch pot.
The critical part is temperature, these need at least 65F continuous soil temperature
(preferably more to maximise germination rates) until germinated.
Keep the soil moist water copiously around the plants, not over them.
Requires support / framework to grow up as fruits are heavy.
Keep weed free to allow air circulation.
Once the plants start to fruit, feed every 14 days with a tomato type fertilizer, these are greedy plants.
