Pumpkin is very easy to land and growing. It has a very powerful root system and is one of their fastest growing crops. To grow large and ripe fruit, you should know a few simple rules.
1
First, decide with the pumpkin variety you want to grow. The most common option is the classic pumpkin with solid bark, which is endowed with a bright orange tint and more round form. This species matures very quickly. A more rich taste has a nutmeg pumpkin, the fruits of which are endowed with a thin crust and a pleasant muscat smell. But it grows much longer and continues to dive after a breakdown. This option is grown only from seedlings.
2
Before planting it is very important to pick up high-quality seeds. It is from seeds that the yield of pumpkin depends. They must be dense and mature. In the shopping options often come across non-seed seeds. They germinate, but develop very slowly, only by the end of summer. If you want a pumpkin to grow quickly, in front of the sowing a strict selection and choose only healthy seeds.
3
If you want to take seeds from your own pumpkin, dry them well and keep them in a dry and warm room before landing. If you can, keep seeds in the house. But if there are frequent moisture differences in the room, it will not affect their quality. Seed storage with large moisture changes can cause lack of fruits.

Remember that pumpkin is able to give a good harvest only in the sun. The soil should be nutritious, loose and well warmed. Experienced gardeners say that the pumpkin needs to be planted on the "period" with vegetable waste. A compost bunch must be prepared in advance. Add a manure there and cover the place with a black film. For moisturizing, do the hole on top. When spring comes, plug the ground into the hole and plant seeds.
5
Form the wells and put two or three seeds into each of them. After shoots, select and save the highest quality sprout, the rest are removed. You can germinate the pumpkin seeds in warm ground in advance and put them in mid-May under the black film. After a month it should be removed.
6
It should not be too often feeding the pumpkin by manure, otherwise it will not raise the fruit for a long time. Let's dung no more than two times a month. It is recommended to add ash to it. If you feed the pumpkin with complex mineral fertilizers, it will give an excellent result. But if you put it right on the compost bunch, as described above, it will not need any fertilizers at all.
7
Well moisturize the soil and break it in a timely manner. The first pumpkin sprouts are embarrassed by birds, so it is necessary to drive them away. To do this, place a wooden sticks around the site and in beds. Then bring the motley ribbons to them. Suriable scarecrow is also suitable, but such an option is more complicated. First, the pumpkin will be covered with a film that will provide it with reliable protection. But later, do the actions described above. Do not forget to break the soil after the rains when it dries.
If you want to get large fruits, simply reduce the size of the bush by reducing the strings. Do not forget to care well behind the plant and it will delight you with big and ripe pumpkins!
