Cultivation Advice Miniature Pumpkin Jack Be Little Organic

• A sunny spot protected from strong winds is essential.
• The soil must be drain and rich in humus, the more the better.
• Many winter Squash / Pumpkins like to sprawl out and need plenty of space.
• Vining Squash / Pumpkins require a larger area to run,
• whilst semi-vining and bush varieties of winter squash / courgette can be well contained.
• For an early start (Mid / Late Apr)
• place a single seed edgeways 1/2inch deep in seed compost in a 3inch pot.
• The critical part is temperature, these need at least 65F continuous soil temperature
• (preferably more to maximise germination rates) until germinated,
• so a propagator, well heated greenhouse or airing cupboard is ideal
• Keep the soil moist – water copiously around the plants, not over them.
• Keep weed free to allow air circulation.
• Once the fruits start to swell feed every 14 days with a tomato type fertilizer,
• these are greedy plants.
