A place for planting is selected sunny, the soil is fertilized. Since the pumpkin occupies a large area, it is better to plant it along the fence, directing the whips to the fence. Bush forms are grown in the beds, placing the lashes under the trees. Pumpkin seeds germinate for a long time, the plant itself develops for a long time (120-140 days). Therefore, it is best to grow it through seedlings. Sowing for seedlings begins 25-35 days before planting in the ground. In Estonian conditions, this is the beginning of May. It is better to sow not in boxes, but in separate glasses, as the pumpkin does not tolerate transplanting well. Water the seedlings with warm water (+ 25 ° C), feed 1-2 times with mineral fertilizers (1 tablespoon per 5 liters of water).
In Estonia, seedlings are planted in the garden on June 10-12, under cover - on May 20-25. It is better to plant it on high beds (20-25 cm). If you have not managed to grow seedlings, sow the seeds, but not earlier than May 25th. Pre-soak them in water or germinate in wet sawdust until a small root tip appears. The depth of sowing seeds is 8-12 cm.
