Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors in April, placing them on moist compost and lightly covering them. Keep in a warm, sunny spot for optimal germination.

 

Once the risk of frost has passed, transplant seedlings outdoors, spacing plants about 1 meter apart to allow for their spreading vines. Alternatively, sow directly outdoors once the soil has warmed.

 

Pumpkin Apetit thrives with regular watering and feeding throughout the growing season. Mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and keep weeds at bay.
