A very tasty bush pumpkin! This popular variety will produce an excellent crop of medium sized pumpkins with bright orange flesh and is just right for smaller garden areas.
When to plant: Spring and Summer
How to grow: Drop seeds 12mm (half-inch) deep direct in final position. Sow 4 or 5 seeds in clumps, later thinning to the two strongest seedlings. Allow 100cm (3ft) between rows and 40-50cm (16-20in) between clumps. When the young plants have 5 or 6 leaves pinch out the growing tips to encourage growth of side shoots. Grow alongside a fence if space is limited. Keep plants well watered and prepare the soil well by adding organic material and or complete fertiliser. Harvest: When vine dies and the fruit stalks are dry
