Kent Pumpkin Seeds

Sow J.A.P or Kent pumpkin seeds in clumps of 2-3 seeds, spacing each clump 60cm (2’) apart. Place the seeds on their edges so that they don't rot, but ensure that they are kept moist. The 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 your Kent pumpkins when the stalks become dry. Fruits store for 4-5 months if kept dry and uninjured.
