Pre-cultivation in the greenhouse from the end of April. If the temperature permits, seeds can be sown directly outdoors from mid-May. The soil should have a temperature of approx. 18 °C at the time of sowing and in the following week at sowing depth so that the germination process runs smoothly and the seeds are not attacked by mold and bacteria. The ideal germination temperature is 22 °C. Further growing tips for the pumpkin species.
