Today, it's one of the most widely eaten vegetables in Egypt. In the Philippines, it is called "saluyot" and is widely grown for the leaves. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in late spring/summer after last frost in a warm, sunny location. Or start seeds inside 6 weeks before last frost date (or 8 weeks before expected transplanting date). Transplant when it has 6-7 true leaves. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. When plant reaches 24" tall, pinch back to promote lateral branching and a continuous harvest of young shoots and leaves.
