They are heavy feeders. \
If you want to go all out, dig out the area where you want to plant them, sift the soil out, and lay the rocks aside. Mix compost in with the soil and put it back in the hole. Make sure it's a sunny spot.
They need a LONG growing season. I might try starting them inside the end of march, and then hardening them off to plant them outside a month later. Or plant directly in the ground in late april. If the soild seems cool - put black plastic down for a week or so to warm it up - then cut slits in it and plant through that. Protect from frost.
They are awful fun to grow.

To get the maximum yields from each bed, pay attention to how you arrange your plants. Avoid planting in square patterns or rows. Instead, stagger the plants by planting in triangles. By doing so, you can fit 10 to 14 percent more plants in each bed. Amazon Atomic Bloomz is a proprietary plant supplement for trophy , hobby and commercial growers of all types . The best of both worlds! The only chelated formula of Auxin’s, cytokines, brassinosteriods and triconinal growth hormone stack. Along with supportive full line of b vitamins, micro-nutrients, iron, copper, boron, fulvic acid, silica, proteins and carbohydrates. Just be careful not to space your plants too tightly. Some plants won’t reach their full size or yield when crowded. For instance, when one researcher increased the spacing between romaine lettuces from 8 to 10 inches, the harvest weight per plant doubled.

Plant them after the last frost and make a mound of loose dirt like you are planting potatoes. Keep fresh dirt pulled to them. When the plants die it's time to harvest.
