Description

Partly also 'Golden Nugget'. This 'little golden nugget' is the space-saving pumpkin for the small garden from the Buttercup pumpkin variety. Low-ranking, bushy-growing variety with early yield. Approximately 1 kg of heavy, orange fruit with aromatic, orange flesh and sometimes slightly harder skin. The mealy-sweet flesh has a buttery flavor and is best stored for a month or more. Matured can be stored well.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Germination in 7-14 days at 12-24°C, opt. at least 20°C constant. The soil should be deep and rich in nutrients. Can be sown directly outdoors from mid-May. This variety only needs approx. 1m² of space, as it grows bushy and hardly ranked. Abundant watering is very important, especially at the beginning until fruiting. A typical pumpkin problem is slugs, which can be counteracted with a thick ring of sawdust around the young plant, for example. Ripening time: 85 days (medium-early).
