Heirloom Pumpkin Seeds

     

🎃 Sturdy & Spectacular

Heirloom pumpkins are the stars of the autumn garden, valued for their stunning variety of shapes, colours, and culinary uses. From fine-grained flesh perfect for pies to robust rinds ideal for carving or decorative displays, these classic varieties bring timeless charm and flavour to every harvest.

• Growing: Needs long, warm seasons, full sun, and plenty of nutrient-rich, well-draining soil.

• Sowing: Direct sow once all danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed significantly. Plant in “hills” to ensure good drainage.

• Care: Heavy feeders that require consistent moisture and ample space for vines to spread. Mulch helps suppress weeds and retains soil dampness.

• Harvesting: Cut from the vine when the rind is hard and the colour is deep. Leave a sturdy handle for better longevity.
