Pumpkin "Gele Reuzen"

Important: pumpkin seeds are placed in the ground only flat, sprinkled and pressed with earth.
If you put them in a different way or press them badly with the ground, then the plant will simply “pull out” the seed peel from the soil, and the cotyledons will not be able to disperse.

* PUMPKIN.
During the period of storage of fruits, the pumpkin ripens - the dry substances contained in it turn into sugar and carotene.
Moreover, this plant accumulates carotene no less than carrots. In some varieties of pumpkin, carotene is 2-3 times more than in carrots - 27-30 mg%.
Sowing pumpkin for seedlings in the middle lane is carried out on April 25-30, planting in open ground on June 3-6 according to the scheme: 1.5 m between rows and 1.0 m between plants in a row.
Pumpkin grows very well on compost heaps, in places with loose, rich in organic matter soil.
Pumpkin seeds are rich in tocopherols (vitamin E), fatty acids (linolenic, oleic, palmitic), vitamins B1 and B2. In addition, the phytic acid contained in the seeds stimulates hematopoiesis, enhances the growth of bone tissue.
