How To Grow
Drop Golden Nugget pumpkin seeds 12mm (1/2") deep directly in their intended final growing position. Sow four or five seeds in each clump, later thinning them out to just the two strongest seedlings. Allow 100 cm (3’) between rows and 40-50 cm (16-20”) between clumps. When the young plants have five or six leaves, pinch out the growing tips to encourage the growth of side shoots. Grow alongside a fence if space in your garden is limited. Keep your pumpkins well-watered as they grow, and prepare the soil well before planting by adding organic material and/or complete fertiliser.
