Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I water Bosque Blue Bumblebee during the 60-day growing period?
During active growth (roughly weeks 2–6), keep soil consistently moist but not soggy—water deeply when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry. In full sun, this typically means about 1–2 waterings per week, but adjust to rainfall and heat so the root zone stays evenly moist. Once plants start setting and swelling fruit, avoid letting the soil dry out completely, which can lead to misshapen growth and poor flavor.
How can I tell when Bosque Blue Bumblebee is ready to harvest at about 60 days?
Harvest when the fruit is firm, fully colored (the characteristic blue tone shows clearly), and reaches the expected size for the variety—don’t wait for soft or wrinkled fruit. Use a gentle twist-and-lift to harvest; if it resists, give it a few more days and recheck. For best eating quality, harvest in the morning when plants are cool and fruit feels crisp.
