Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil and plenty of space for the vines to spread. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 12 inches and incorporating compost or aged manure for added nutrients. Sow the seeds directly into the soil, planting them about 1/2 inch deep and spacing them 1 foot apart in rows. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the germination period. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weed growth, and fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every 4 to 6 weeks. Monitor for pests such as aphids and cucumber beetles, and take appropriate measures for pest control.
