Pumpkin Golden Nugget

Pumpkin Golden Nugget is an heirloom bush-type pumpkin, ideal to grow in limited spaces. Golden Nugget produces a good crop of small sized, orange fruit with fine textured flesh and excellent flavour. The mini fruit are just the right size for a single serving, and absolutely fantastic for stuffing and roasting.

For early sowing, raise in pots of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix in a well-lit, protected spot. Transplant after 3-4 weeks. For direct sowing press 3-4 seeds into mounds of moist soil 1m apart. Later thin to the two strongest plants. Select a sunny, well-drained position. When vines are carrying plenty of flowers, pinch off ends to contain growth. Harvest as the vine dies off, and the stalk turns brown.

Great companion plant for corn, marjoram, Beans and radishes. Provide growing plants with plenty of water at root level.

Poor fruiting is usually caused by heat and/or water stress, particularly when young.

Germination 6 – 10 days | Maturity 12 – 14 weeks
