Pumpkin 'Gele Reuzen'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Gele Reuzen is thought of as hardy, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea). Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.5 and 7.0 as Gele Reuzen likes to be in weakly acidic soil - neutral soil.

Aim to sow 1.17 inches (3.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 4.94 feet (1.52 metres). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Gele Reuzen about 14 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Gele Reuzen is a hardy plant.
