Cucurbita pepo Thumpkin

Cucurbita pepo Thumpkin

Cucurbita pepo Thumpkin

A sensational phenomenon. Thumpkin is a sister variety of the well-known and popular Wolf variety and is just as unusual.

The fruits of Thumpkin are slightly smaller and more flat to round, but bear the same enormously thick and dark green stem as Wolf. The fruits weigh between 6 and 12 kg, like Wolf, Thumpkin requires a lot of space.

The pulp of Thumpkin is suitable for cooking.

Ripening time: 120 days.

Thumpkin grows strongly climbing. 

C. pepo grows well on warm, well-drained soils, pre-cultivation and planting with sowing from the end of April or direct sowing from the beginning of May.

Optimum germination at 24-30o C. When sowing stick the pointed side of the seed down or lay them flat. Do not keep the seed too moist. After germination, place in a brighter and cooler place.

For Thumpkin we recommend around 4-5 square meters per plant.

Possible pests: snails, birds, mice, lice, powdery mildew, virus.

 

Supplied as raw (normal) seed.
