When to Sow Jack O'Lantern Pumpkin Seeds

April to May under glass Mid May to June outdoors

Where to Sow

Sow seed on edge 1.5cm (1/2") deep to prevent rotting in pots or trays during April to May 2.5cm (1") apart under glass at 20°C (68°F) using good quality seed sowing compost.
Sow outdoors mid-May to June direct into growing site 1.5cm (1/2") deep 2 to 3 seeds in each position 90cm (36") apart.

What to do next

Greenhouse sowings should be gradually hardened off once they have developed the first pair of rough leaves and transplanted to the growing site in late-May to early-June, 60-90cm (24-36") apart once all risk of frost has past. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to one plant per station.

Maturity

September to October

Handy Tip

Always grow pumpkins in a sunny spot in rich fertile soil. Water regularly once fruits start to swell. These can grow a number of fruits, however, to get larger fruits, simply stop the stems after 2 pumkpins have started to develop.

Nutritional Tip

A good source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins B1, C and E.
