@themediterraneangardener: If you want to grow a jack-o-lantern pumpkin ready for halloween, spring is the perfect time to get them going. They can be stored for months, cooked in a variety of ways or decorated making pumpkins a versatile addition to the garden. They might not sprout if planted incorrectly, so this is how to get them going The seeds need to be planted on edge. Don’t plant the seed flat, as water can puddle on the surface and it could rot. germinating. Instead pant it on the side allowing water to drain. Place pots on a warm windowsill or green house, water well and transplant into larger pots when large enough to handle and plant outside when all risk of frost has passed. When the fruits start to swell, gently lift them onto bricks so they ripen off the soil. Harvest when the stem connecting the fruit to the plant begins to crack. #pumpkins #gardening #growyourownfood #gardentok #organicfood
