Cultural practices : sow a seed directly in the garden when there is no more risk of frost and the soil is warm.
Soil : rich and well drained.
Spacing : plant four to five seeds 2.5 cm deep in mounds 2 m apart. Thin out to 2 or 3 plants.
Growing tips : pumpkins require fertile soil, add a generous amount of organic matter when sowing. Adequate humidity is required for its cultivation, water slowly and deeply. What would autumn be without the presence of pumpkins in our gardens!
