Really attractive culinary pumpkin with thick skins and succulent flesh. Don't waste the 'naked' seeds which are particularly tasty as snacks. (Compact vine).
Approx. 10 Seeds
Sow indoors for surest results, April-June, 1.5cm (½") deep, on edge, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 90cm (3') apart, into fertile, well-drained soil, during May-June when frosts are over. Or sow outdoors, May-June for ease, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, fertile, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Allow 90cm (3') between positions. Sow two seeds on edge per position. Early sowings benefit from cloche protection. Thin to leave the stronger plant. Water well until plants are established.
Harvest: August-November.
