MINI Pumpkin seed moschata
LATIN NAME: Cucurbita moschata
COMMON NAME: Mini Pumpkin
The mini pumpkin sets its small, golden fruits along the trailing vine, and the large, yellow flowers open among the broad leaves. The vigorous, trailing, annual vine carries the broad, lobed, dark-green leaves and the large, yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers through the warm season, one of the fine, bright sights of the warm kitchen garden, to be followed by the small, round, ribbed, golden-orange fruits with the fine, sweet flesh. The fruits have a long record as the fine, festive vegetable of the warm tables, and the vine is a fine, generous presence of the kitchen garden. It is a vine of the open, sunny, deep, moist, rich ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The mini pumpkin is a bright subject of the plant science, and the golden fruits keep showing up in the work on the vine crops. The way the small, round, ribbed, golden-orange fruits form along the trailing vine has been studied steadily, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the vine crops, the squash group and the members of the gourd family. The broad, lobed leaves and the trailing habit have also made it a fine study vine, and the mini pumpkin is a regular subject of the work on the golden fruits of the warm world.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
The mini pumpkin is a fine, bright vine of the warm kitchen garden. The small, round, ribbed, golden-orange fruits have a long record as the fine, festive vegetable of the warm tables, the sweet flesh coming to the roasts, the soups and the pies of the warm kitchens, while the large, yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers open through the warm season, one of the fine, bright sights of the garden, drawing the bees. The vine is one of the fine choices for the warm kitchen garden, the pot and the study collection, and it has been written up in the culinary and the agricultural papers for the golden fruits and the generous ways. It is a fine, bright vine of the open, sunny, deep, moist, rich garden.
Give the young vine the warm, sunny spot, and the golden fruits will come in the first warm season.
To grow the mini pumpkin from seed, set the plump, white seeds a couple of centimetres down in the rich pot of gritty soil, keep the pot in a warm, bright spot and water gently, then set the young plants out after the last frosts. The seedlings come through within a couple of weeks and grow on fast. With the sun, the warmth and the deep, moist, rich ground, the golden fruits will come through the warm season.
