it’s high time to plant butternuts, pumpkins…

For cucurbits: you need space!

Many places. These are plants that are not very demanding but plants that run on the ground, in his fields Jacky Mercier plans 1m by 2.50m for each plant.

Floor ? It must be amended before planting, bring compost but any type of soil will do.

Sunshine ? It’s needed.

Watering? Better to water by sprinkling rather than drip, why?

Because the leaves need to be watered and then they are funneled: they bring the water back to the roots.

When should they be picked, what are the signs of maturity? Listen again to Jacky Mercier’s advice.
