Growing Instructions
Step 1 - Sow the pumpkins seeds on
their sides in small 7.5cm (3") pots of seed compost at a depth of about 2.5cm
(1").
Step 2 - Place them in a propagator or Cover the pots with cling film, creating
a mini greenhouse, at a temperature of about 20°C (68F) until germination, which
takes about 5-7 days.
Step 3 - When germinated, grow pumpkin plants on for about 4 weeks until they
are large enough to be transplanted outdoors.
Step 4 - Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before
transplanting pumpkins into warm, well drained, humus rich soil in full sun,
with shelter from winds. Choose a spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct
sun per day and prepare the soil in advance, adding plenty of well rotted manure
or compost.
Step 5 - Planting distances can range from 90cm apart to 3m apart depending on
the variety, so you will need to check the seed packet. At each planting
station, pile the soil into mounds about 15cm (6") high. Plant each pumpkin
plant on top of a mound to ensure good drainage and keep them well watered until
they are established.
Step 6 - Pumpkins like plenty of nitrogen so they will like a feed of general
fertilizer a few weeks after planting. They will begin to produce long stems
which can be trained in a circle around the plant to prevent them from spreading
too far. They have deep roots and are normally quite capable of finding their
own water within the soil, but in very dry periods some supplementary watering
may be required.
