Gymnosperm pumpkin

Do lovers of pumpkin seeds know that you can enjoy this nutritious and healthy product without tedious cleaning and litter throughout the room? For a long time now, breeders have developed a unique variety of gymnosperm pumpkin to help us.

The gymnosperm pumpkin fully lives up to its name - after all, inside its juicy pulp there are seeds that do not have the usual hard shell. As a matter of fact, this pumpkin is grown for its seeds. And pumpkin seeds are used for various purposes: oil is obtained from them, added to sweets and baked goods, and also eaten raw.

If you decide to plant this miracle pumpkin on your site, you should know about some of its features. If there are other varieties of pumpkin, squash or zucchini in the garden plantings, the gymnosperm pumpkin may be cross-pollinated and as a result you will not receive seeds without a peel. To avoid this, plant gymnospermous pumpkin at a considerable distance from pollination sources.

Gymnosperm pumpkin, like its other varieties, especially loves warmth. Low temperatures are detrimental to young shoots, but the warmth of the sun will give them the strength to actively develop and grow.

Unlike other varieties, this pumpkin will not please you with its large size and high yields. However, with good care and feeding using mullein and ash, the plant will fully justify the labor costs.

When planting seeds, special attention should be paid to the soil temperature - it should be sufficiently warm (about 10-12°C). Seeds pre-soaked in water are buried 5-10 cm into the soil.Mid-early varieties of gymnosperm pumpkin can please you with a harvest within 120 days after sowing.
