Mr Fothergill’s Fun Seeds Halloween Heads Pumpkin

Carve into heads for Halloween. Eat the flesh in pies.

Sow indoors, April-May. Put 1 or 2 seeds, 1.5cm (½”) deep, in pots of seed compost. After a few weeks, when the seedlings are growing strongly, place them outside for a few hours during the day (avoid frosts). Plant out in the garden, late May to June. Or, sow outdoors, May-June, where they are to crop. Allow 1m (40″) between plants. Pinch out the very tip of the plant to help contain its size, once 4 fruits have started to grow. Water regularly. Harvest: September-November.
