Two or three seeds per station, 2 cm deep, thinned to the strongest seedling, with stations 45 cm apart along a ridge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil and water:\u003c\/strong\u003e Loose, well-manured soil on a raised ridge with the furrow alongside for water. Irrigate the furrow, not the leaves — wet foliage in Lahore humidity invites powdery mildew.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Run the vines up a net or a bamboo frame.
