• How To Sow: Choose a well-drained site in full sun. Sow these seeds in trays for subsequent transplanting or, after frosts, sow directly in a well prepared seedbed. Sow seeds 10 cm apart, in rows 60 cm apart, and to a depth of 2 cm.
• Seedling Care: Keep seedbed evenly moist during the germination period of 14-21 days. Apply fruit fertiliser two weeks after germination for healthier plants and maximum crop. Protect your seedlings from slugs, snails and insect pests; go to mcgregors.co.nz for appropriate plant health and pest control products.
• Hints & Tips: The first pumpkins of your yield will store the best.
• Our seeds are not treated with Neonicotinoids.
