Yes, because this is an open-pollinated variety, you can successfully save the seeds from your harvest to plant in future seasons.
No, these are indeterminate plants that grow quite large and require significant space. They are best suited for in-ground garden beds with a sturdy trellis or cage for support.
To ensure proper airflow and healthy growth, space your plants 3 to 4 feet apart. This spacing is essential for indeterminate varieties to prevent overcrowding.
