Squash 'Zapallito' BIO De Bolster (1680)

Pumpkin 'Zappalito' is a non-scented summer pumpkin. The green fruits should be harvested and consumed at a young, immature stage. Plant out more strictly, 1 plant per 0.8 m². The green fruits of the Zappalito have a diameter of 10 to 12 cm. Grows on any well-fertilized soil.

Sow warm in a greenhouse at the end of April/beginning of May, do not overwater during germination. Watch out for mice, because they love pumpkin seeds. Once the seeds have germinated this is no longer a problem. After approx. 3 weeks transplant outside.

You can sow on the spot in May, as long as it is warm enough to ensure a smooth germination. Sow 2 seeds per sowing spot, 3 to 4 cm deep. After emergence leave one plant standing. Mice can also put soot in the food outside. You can take preventive action by placing a flowerpot upside down on the sowing spot immediately after sowing. Remove the pots after a week!
