Care & Buying Guide

  • Sow vertically, 1cm deep and 50cm apart in a sheltered spot with plenty of well-rotted manure.

  • Feed every 2 weeks.

  • Water well, avoiding wetting the fruit.

  • Lift growing fruit off the soil to rest on clay, wood or straw.

  • Remove any foliage that is shading the fruit, which need sun to ripen.

  • Harvest before frosts, once the leaves begin to wither and turn yellow.

  • Kabocha will last longer if a good portion of the stalk is left intact and they are cured in the sun for 7-14 days after harvest.
