2. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil: Use nutrient-rich soil to support strong growth and fruit development.
3. Sow seeds directly or transplant seedlings: Space plants about 90-120 cm apart to allow room for vines to spread.

Care and Maintenance

• Water consistently: Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging to prevent root problems.
• Feed regularly: Use a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and fruit production.
• Harvest when mature: Pick pumpkins when the skin turns a deep tan colour and the stems start to dry for the best flavour and storage.
