Use and recipes

Try some of these recipes with your freshly harvested produce.

Stage 1Germination in nursery

Two little round leaves should pop up and grow above the plant pod.

Stage 2 Initial growth

Your plant should have two sets of leaves by now and is big enough to absorb nutrients.

Move into garden

Once your plant has grown its second set of leaves, carefully move it from your Nursery into an empty place in your Garden.

Thin out

In order to give your plant enough space, carefully pinch off the plants at the their base. Leave all but one plant.

 

Stage 3 Mid growth

Your plant is now halfway through its life! It should look bigger and have several sets of leaves.

Guide

Your plant should be much longer now and needs support. Carefully twist the plant around the side of your Garden, attaching it to a trellis.

Stage 4 Flower

You should see your first 3 flowers at this stage.

Pollinate

This plant is self-pollinating and therefore does not need your help to bear fruit! Continue to guide your plant up a trellis or the side of your Garden.

Stage 5 Fruit

Your flowers should be turning into small pods which will swell over time.

 

Stage 6Harvest

When a pod is swollen a bit and you can see the pods inside, cut your pod off with scissors.

Harvest plant

This plant can be harvested multiple times before it should be removed. To harvest, cut off pods and be careful not to damage the main vine.

Stage 7 Remove plant

Remove your plant once it stops producing flowers. It may also be time to remove when your vine gets too long and begins crowding other plants.
