How to Grow Fothergills Oh Sow Simple Small Pumpkin:

1. Prepare the Soil:
   Choose well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny, sheltered location. Add compost or organic matter to enrich the soil.

2. Sow the Seeds:
   Sow seeds directly outdoors from late spring once the risk of frost has passed. Plant 2-3 cm deep and space them about 60 cm apart.

3. Watering and Care:
   Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and prevent weeds.

4. Support and Feeding:
   As the plants grow, guide the vines and provide support if needed. Feed with a high-potash fertiliser once the flowers appear.

5. Harvest:
   Pumpkins are ready to harvest when the skin hardens and turns a rich orange colour. Cut them from the vine with a short stem and allow them to cure in the sun for a few days before storing.
