Growing Guide
Season: Warm, frost-free weather.
Sowing: Sow directly into fertile, well-drained soil in full sun, allowing room for the plant habit shown on the packet.
Soil and feeding: Use a well-drained growing medium with mature compost. Feed according to crop needs, soil fertility and the fertiliser label, rather than a fixed schedule for every vegetable.
Care and Harvest Guide
Water consistently and leave flowers accessible to pollinators. Do not assume this is a large storage pumpkin.
Cut fruits while young, tender and easy to pierce; regular picking avoids tough, overmature squash.
Follow packet depth and spacing for the actual seed line. Keep the seedbed moist, not saturated, and protect young seedlings from heavy rain.
