Growing and care

Any crop cultivation begins with the right choice of seeds. Better to choose fresh pumpkin seedlings. Many growers claim that seeds are stored for several years, but the older the harvest, the less effective germination.

Having selected the necessary seed, you can start sowing. The soil is preliminarily cultivated. It can be calcined in the oven or treated with a solution of potassium permanganate. The seeds are also treated with this disinfection solution.

Sowing is carried out in April, and planting of seedlings in open ground - in May-June.

The selected area needs to be processed. The earth is dug up, bringing in useful minerals. It is worth noting that the honey fairy tale pumpkin does not like clay soil. Therefore, it is best to use sand and peat to dilute the soil. The landing pattern should be 100x50 cm.

Since any pumpkin varieties do not like transplanting, you can plant seedlings in the holes together with a peat pot. Before buying, you must also look at the composition of the container - there should be about 65-75% of peat, if this indicator is less, then the pot will not dissolve, which means it will not allow the roots to grow properly.

Subsequent irrigation of the crop is carried out in accordance with the established regime. Its active phase occurs before the main flowering. Then it becomes a little less frequent, and then, after the formation of the fruits, it resumes as usual. This procedure is generally coordinated with the weather conditions, depending on the dryness of the summer.

As a top dressing, you can use a solution of mullein or bird droppings. Mineral complexes are used only if the culture really needs it: its growth slowed down, the leaves began to turn yellow or curl. And fertilizers in this case are applied only after the pumpkin has been examined for the presence of disease or pests.
