SKU
346RV9C
One pot of each of the below.
Pumpkin - Harvest Moon
A very reliable and easy growing variety, semi-trailing, producing good sized deep orange round heads perfect for carving at Halloween (they are also good to eat too!)
Growing Instructions
You can grow pumpkins in containers, grow bags or in well drained soil in a sheltered but sunny position. Plants 45-60cm apart - be prepared to give it space, a good position is along a sunny fence. Keep them well watered until established and in dry weather. They do like to be kept moist but not wet! You will need to train the plant as it grows because it will literally take over everything if it has the chance. Feed once the fruit appears. Pumpkins like sunshine so move any leaves that are blocking them. Place the pumpkins on a tile or glass to stop them going mouldy. If you want bigger pumpkins, choose 1 or 2 pumpkins to keep off one plant and pick the rest off, this will allow all the nutrients to go to those few and make them bigger.
Mini Squash - Sunbeam
This squash produces a mass of little bright yellow mini flat lanterns or flying saucer shape, they have a nutty flavour with a firmer bite than a courgette, they can be pickled or cooked. Very easy to grow, treat as you would grow a courgette.
Growing Instructions
Plant 90cm apart in well drained soil in a sunny but sheltered spot. Keep well watered until established and in dry weather. Can be grown in a pot on your patio or even amongst your flower bed, where they wont look out of place.
Butternut Squash - Hunter
Description
This plant will literally take over your garden if it could, so it will need some training. But you will be rewarded with early maturing, high yields of good-sized sweet squashes with deep orange flesh, they have a small seed cavity so there will be little waste, and they will store well over a long period.
Growing Instructions
Plant 100cm apart in well drained soil in a sunny but sheltered position. They take up a lot of space so a good place would be to run along a wall/fence or even on your compost heap out of the way, I have known people to train them along a trellis and support the fruits with a net when they arrive. They do prefer heat so keep that in mind when you are planting. Once the plant has got 5-7 leaves, pick the tips off the plant, which will encourage the fruits to grow. Feed only once you see 2 or more fruits growing not before.
