Growing Queensland Blue Pumpkin
Indoor Sowing: Not Recommended.
Direct Sowing: Late Spring and Early Summer.
- Pumpkin cultivation begins with a hill.
- Pumpkin plants need a distance of about 2m between plants, so bear that in mind when you plant the seeds.
- Draw your garden soil into a hill of about 30 cm across and 8cm-10 cm in height. This allows the soil to heat around the seeds and roots.
- Your soil should be well amended and well fertilized since pumpkin plants are heavy feeders.
- Plant 2 – 4 pumpkin seeds per hill about 2 cm deep and a few cm apart.
- Keep the soil moist, but not soggy.
- The seeds germinate best when the soil temperatures are around 20°C or higher.
- Germination in about 14 days.
- When they’re about 5cm high, thin out the weakest leaving one plant per hill.
