Growing Information:

  1. Sowing:

    • Timing: Sow seeds when the weather warms up, typically in late May or early June, after the risk of frost has passed.
    • Direct sowing: Seeds can be directly sown into the ground after the danger of frost has passed (usually late May).
    • Sowing depth: 2.5–5 cm.
    • Row spacing: 90–120 cm, plant spacing 60–90 cm.

  2. Growing Conditions:

    • Sunlight: Pumpkins thrive in full sun, so choose a location where they can get plenty of direct sunlight.
    • Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil is ideal. The recommended pH range is 6.0–6.8.
    • Watering: Pumpkins require consistent moisture, especially during flowering and fruiting. Ensure even watering and avoid drought stress.

  3. Care:

    • Pumpkins need a lot of space as the vines can spread quite far.
    • Fertilize at least once or twice during the growing season to support healthy growth and fruit production.
    • Remove dead or diseased leaves to help the plant focus its energy on healthy growth.

  4. Harvesting:

    • Pumpkins are ready to harvest when the fruits are fully orange, and the skin is firm. Harvest typically occurs in late September or early October.
