#Pumpkin seedlings for sale skin#
Repeated exposure to temperatures below 10☌ may cause chilling damage. (22-23 lbs.) Salem F1 Hybrid pumpkin is oval shaped with medium ribbing and exhibits dark, burnt orange skin with a dark, well rooted handle.
STORAGE: Store at 10-13☌, 50-75% RH and good ventilation. Sun cure by exposing fruits for 5-7 days or cure indoors by keeping squash at 27-29☌ and 80-85% relative humidity (RH) with good air ventilation. Cut fruits from vines and handle carefully. HARVEST: Fruits are typically ready about 50-55 days after fruit set, and should be harvested before any hard frosts. moschata types are less susceptible to vine borers. Keep field borders mowed and remove plant refuse in autumn spring plow to bury pupae. For vine borers, cut out of vines and hill soil over the wound. Squash bug eggs found on the undersides of leaves may be crushed by hand. Protect young plants with floating row cover. INSECT PESTS: Cucumber beetles, squash bugs, and vine borers are all common pests for cucurbits. Avoid problems by ensuring adequate soil drainage, good air flow, insect pest control, and crop rotation. In-row spacing depends on fruit size as well as vine length and is generally: small fruit/bush or short vine type: 45-60cm medium fruit and vine length: 60-90cm large fruit or long vine length: 90-120cm.ĭISEASES: Common cucurbit diseases include powdery mildew, downy mildew, bacterial wilt, and phytophthora. PLANT SPACING: Bush to short-vine habits generally require 2 metres between-row spacing, while long-vine habits require 4 metres between-row spacing. Thin to 1 plant per spacing interval after seedlings are established. Handle seedlings carefully minimal root disturbance is best.ĭIRECT SEEDING: Sow 2 seeds at the appropriate spacing interval for the variety’s vine length, 13-25mm deep. After danger of frost has passed, transplant out according to the spacing recommendations for each variety. Harden plants 4–7 days prior to transplanting. Thin to 1 plant/container or cell with scissors. TRANSPLANTING: Sow 2-3 seeds per 5cm container or plug flat about 3 weeks prior to transplanting. Poor fruit development may indicate insufficient pollination. Row covers should be removed when plants begin to flower to allow for pollination. Plastic mulch and fabric row covers can aide plant establishment and exclude insect pests during the seedling stage. The Market Gardener Masterclass, JM Fortier.ĬULTURE: Fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8 is best.
