Pumpkin J.A.P (or Kent)
Botanical Name: Cucurbita moschata
Delicious and tasty round pumpkins with excellent flavour and good storage ability. Plants perform well in poorer soils as they prefer lower nutrient levels than most vegetable crops.`
We hope you enjoy these vegetable seeds, just another great example of vegetable seeds from Mr Fothergill’s!
| How To Grow | Sow seeds in clumps of 2-3 seeds, spacing each clump 60cm (2ft) apart. Place the seeds on their edges to ensure they don't rot and keep moist. Soil must be warm and should not be very fertile – over-fertile soils result in poor fruit growth and excessive leaves. Thin to the strongest seedling in each group when they emerge. Provide liquid feeds and if needed, hand-pollinate the female flowers. Harvest when the stalks become dry. Fruits store for 4-5 months if kept dry and uninjured. |

| Important Note | These seeds may be treated with a fungicide (Thiram or Apron XL), do not eat the seeds or feed them to animals. Fungicide treatment is an AQIS requirement for certain varieties of seeds. It does not affect your crops or harm insects such as bees. If your packet has been treated it will be well marked with a warning and the seeds will be dyed a distinct colour. |
