Step 4: Generally, to start the planting we hope that the winter season is coming to an end as the boom can only be produced with residual soil moisture. The soil must be dry by the time the fruits are developed since it is a creeping plant that must be in continuous contact with it, if there is a lot of water the plant and the fruits will be damages.
