Kabocha Seeds
Japanese Pumpkin

• Sow vertically, 1cm deep and 50cm apart in a sheltered spot with plenty of well-rotted manure.
• Feed every 2 weeks.
• Water well, avoiding wetting the fruit.
• Lift growing fruit off the soil to rest on clay, wood or straw.
• Remove any foliage that is shading the fruit, which need sun to ripen.
• Harvest before frosts, once the leaves begin to wither and turn yellow.
• Kabocha will last longer if a good portion of the stalk is left intact and they are cured in the sun for 7-14 days after harvest.
