Cover the seed lightly with soil, 2 - 3 in groups. Space giants are at least 3 m apart. For earlier Pumpkins, start indoors 2 to 3 weeks before the intended date for moving the plants to the garden. Use Jiffy pots so the container and roots can be buried without disturbing the root system. Also, make sure the pot is wet when transplanting. Sow 2 seeds per pot and do not thin. Germinates best at 22 degrees C in 7 to 10 days. Pumpkins are ripe once the stem has reached a dark green colour and is starting to wither. Ample water is needed for optimum size! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest pumpkins before the first autumn frost and when the foliage has begun to dry out. Cut the stem with a knife, leaving 7-10cm of stem on the pumpkin. Do not hold the pumpkin by the stem; if the stem attachment gets broken or any part of the pumpkin bruises, the pumpkin may rot. Do not allow harvested fruit to get wet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Happy Valley Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Pack: 10 seeds","offer_id":45286281118008,"sku":"V-835","price":2.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25g","offer_id":45286281150776,"sku":"BW-V-835_25g","price":28.77,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":45286281183544,"sku":"BW-V-835_100g","price":93.45,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":45286281216312,"sku":"BW-V-835_250g","price":195.09,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":45286281249080,"sku":"BW-V-835_1kg","price":740.25,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/5416\/2522\/products\/pumpkin-big-max-seeds-820441.jpg?v=1702184846"},{"product_id":"tomato-moneymaker-seeds","title":"Tomato - Moneymaker seeds","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTomato Money Maker seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSolanum lycopersicum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePacket: 30 seeds, 1g\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTomato MONEYMAKER is an old English variety producing plenty of intense red medium-sized round fruit.
