Tips & Advice:
Sowing Indoors
Sow seeds individually on edge in small pots of firm, moist seed compost 2cm deep. Cover pot with cling film and place in the warmth, 15-18°C. As seedlings develop, remove cling film and grow on under cool, light conditions, but not in direct sunlight. Keep moist.
Growing On
Gradually accustom young plants to outdoor conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions, allowing 120cm between plants, after risk of frost has passed. Water and feed regularly.
Sowing Outdoors
Water sowing positions, then sow two or three seeds close together in a group 2cm deep allowing 120cm between each group. After germination, leave only the strongest seedling in each group. Keep well watered in dry spells.
Aftercare
Pumpkins are thirsty and hungry plants. Water freely and frequently, especially during dry spells. Once fruits start to swell, feed plants regularly with a liquid fertiliser. Grow and ripen best in full sun. Use straw under the developing fruits to help protect them from marking and rotting.
Advice
The biggest pumpkins are grown from plants started indoors early and protected from cold before planting out into soil which has lots of organic matter incorporated. Only keep 1 or 2 of the developing pumpkins per plant to allow all energy into these fruits.
