BIO Pumpkin - Jack O' Lantern - Striking garden feature - Fresh Seeds

BIO Pumpkin Jack O' Lantern is a variety that produces round fruits with an intense orange skin and a firm texture. The flesh is tender, slightly sweet, and well suited to baking, boiling, and making soups, cakes, and preserves. The fruits store well and can be kept for a long time after harvest. The seeds come from certified organic cultivation, produced without GMOs, synthetic pesticides, or artificial fertilisers. This variety crops reliably and is well suited to home garden growing, with fruits that work both as a cooking ingredient and as an autumn decoration.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds at a depth of 2 to 3 cm to provide good conditions for germination. It helps if the soil is warm and slightly moist, as young plants then establish quickly and develop a strong root system.

When to sow outdoors

Pumpkins grow best with plenty of warmth. Sow in May, once the soil temperature is above 12°C. You can also raise seedlings in pots earlier to speed up the first harvest. However, direct sowing outdoors allows the plant to settle in quickly and develop strong shoots.

Spacing

Keep a spacing of about 100 x 80 cm. This gives the trailing stems enough room to spread and improves access to light and air. It is worth placing a few seeds in each hole, then after emergence leaving the healthiest and strongest seedlings.

Harvest time

Harvest begins in September and continues until the end of October. Pick the pumpkins before the first frosts, once the skin has hardened and developed a deep orange colour. Store the fruits in a dry, well-ventilated place, as their natural keeping quality helps them stay fresh for several months. Over time, the aroma becomes fuller and the flesh more tender.

Growing tips

Pumpkin Jack O' Lantern grows best in a sunny spot sheltered from wind. It prefers fertile, humus-rich soil that holds moisture well but is not waterlogged. Regular watering while the fruits are forming supports a generous crop and good quality. In mid-summer, the plants reward you with vigorous growth and large, attractive fruits.
