ABOUT
Sweet Yellow Pumpkin
- This classic Cypriot pumpkin is super sweet and is one of the most flavoursome pumpkins around.
- An awesome variety to cook with, it has a soft and smooth texture! It is also super fruity when eaten raw in salads and sweets.
- Easy to grow in a patch where it will run rampant with high yield of flowers and fruits.
- Compost and mulch well around plant and vines if grown on ground to keep the fruit from rotting in damp soil.
- Best to grow in a sunny position with well drained nutrient dense soil. Like most pumpkins they will climb so try and be creative and grow on a trellis!
- If growing on the ground allow room to spread about 5X5 metres.
- Harvest the pumpkins end of Summer when vines and stalk of fruit turn yellow and dry.
- If growing on a trellis train 1 main shoot until it reaches the top and allow to spread at final grow destination.
