PUMPKIN : SQUASH
ee to og ~ Spring or Summer after all danger of frost has passed. Can
© sown earlier indoors or under glass, but these plants must have both
warmth and plenty of light. Germination will not occur in cold temperatures.
Where to Grow ~ Ina warm, sheltered, well-drained site in full sun.
How to Sow ~ Sow 2-3 seeds 10cm apart, in groups 2 metres apart, or
1 seed per pot and cover with 20mm of firmed soil. Lay seed on it's side
when sowing. Do not push the seed into the soil as this may block the small
hole that the seed takes in water through (a common cause of germination
failure.)
Care ~ Keep seedbed evenly moist during the germination period. Pumpkin
and Squash generally require a long, warm season.
Tips ~ Reducing fruit numbers to 3 or 4 per plant can hasten maturity and
keep plants healthier (reduced stress due to fruit production.) Nie getting
foliage wet as this can create fungal / mildew problems. Grey skinned Crown
Pumpkins generally have exceptional shelf life. These should Ue left on the
vine until full maturity (when foliage has died off.) The Pumpkin or Squash
stem should be left on when harvesting (critical for even short term storage.)
Buttercup, Butternut and other Squash generally do not store as well, but 2
or 3 months minimum is usually expected.
Germination Guaranteed
