Anbautipps

Harvest pumpkins when the rind is hard and the stem begins to dry; leave 10 cm of stem attached for better storage life.

Cure harvested fruit in the sun for 10 days at 25-30 C to harden the skin before storing in a cool, dry place.

Train vines in one direction and prune secondary runners to concentrate energy into fewer, larger fruits.
