Place in a container, cover with a loose lid and wait for the seeds to germinate. It usually takes 3-5 days. From time to time, the fabric should be spilled with water.

  • At this time, peat pots are harvested, since the pumpkin does not like transplants. It is necessary to fill in a little cultivated land.

  • The soil should be shed before sowing. 2 seeds are planted in one container.

  • After germination, the strongest is selected from 2 sprouts.

Transplanting into open ground is carried out in the presence of 2-4 strong leaves. The procedure is carried out at the end of May, when the soil warms up to + 16 ... 18 ° С.

The bed must be dug in advance, and peat, sand, humus and mineral fertilizers should be added to it.

In the spring, everything is dug up again, while holes are formed with a depth of 10 cm, according to the scheme 60x60 cm.

The subsequent care of the culture should not be difficult.

Watering should only be done with settled warm water, the temperature of which should not be lower than + 20 ° C. One plant should have from 5 to 7 liters. During the growing season, the amount can increase to 10 liters. Moisture is applied strictly at the root. The procedure is carried out before the ovaries 1 time in 7 days, after - 1 time in 14 days. After watering, the soil is loosened and weeds are removed.
