PUMPKIN               H

Cucurbita spp.

Sow after frost in spring; in tropical areas sow all year. Pumpkins need a good-sized area, grow them on a fence if space is limited. Sow seed 2.5 cm deep, directly into hills of compost, 1 metre apart, into warm soil. Pinching out the ends of the runners will encourage branching and increase yield. Incorporate plenty of well-rotted animal manure before planting. Harvest pumpkins when fully coloured and the stem is brown. Pick with a stem 6 cm long and dry in the sun before storing.
