Direct sow these crops
Ground
Containers
Straw Bales
Space is need
You can grow these in containers or bags of compost laid on the grown cut open
soil needs to be dry and warm. If your soil stays very wet and you've had trouble raising healthy vine crops, try building up the hills into three- to five-inch-high mounds before planting. Then plant the way you would for hills. These mounds aid the plant's germination and improve the growing environment because the soil warms up and dries out faster.
