It was totally green when I went on vacation. I watered it heavily beforehand knowing I would be away a couple weeks. Got back and boom, ready to eat! Not sure if it was because the soil got a bit dry. Smells very good.

Historywise, the bud started to emerge in June 2025. The plant was about 1.5 or so years old.

You need a lot of sun and warmth. They are 10-11hardiness zone. Frost will kill them instantly. Too much moisture is not good either, moderate rainfall
