4 to 6 feet each way in early May, placing a forkful of old 
manure under each hill and 10 to 12 seeds in each hill, 
thinning out to 3 plants to each hill when the plants are 
well established. Pinching off ends of vines when they are 
a foot long will increase production. For an early crop start 
seeds in small boxes in a hotbed.
