Highlights

  • Stores well for several months thanks to firm skins, so harvested mini-pumpkins keep through winter.
  • Compact, space-saving plants ideal for smaller plots, producing round 11 cm orange-speckled white mini-pumpkins.
  • Sweet, flavourful flesh is excellent roasted or added to winter soups and stews.

Description

Marshalls Garden 'Sweet Lightning' is a winter squash that produces perfectly formed mini-pumpkins about 11 cm in diameter with attractive orange-speckled white skin. The compact plants suit smaller vegetable plots and produce sweet, flavourful flesh that roasts well and enriches winter soups and stews. Sow indoors early or sow outdoors from May after the last frost in a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained, loamy soil enriched with organic matter. Space plants about 100 cm apart, feed with a high-potash fertiliser once flowering, and harvest when stems turn dry and corky; leave fruits to harden in the sun for 10–14 days before storing.

Product Care InstructionsBig, bold, and brilliantly satisfying – pumpkins and squash are one of the joys of the summer veg patch. Sow them indoors early and plant out once the soil warms, and you’ll be rewarded with vigorous plants that sprawl across the garden. They thrive in sunshine and rich soil, producing colourful, plump fruits perfect for roasting, soups, pies and even carving come autumn. Outdoor Sowing Sow outdoors from May, once the last frosts have passed. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost or manure. Create small mounds or planting stations to warm the soil and improve drainage. Sow 2–3 seeds per hole, 2.5cm deep, then thin to the strongest seedling. Allow 100cm between plants and 100cm between rows for space to spread. Feeding Before planting, dig in well-rotted manure or compost. Once plants are established and start flowering, feed every 10–14 days with a high-potash fertiliser to support strong fruit development. Harvesting Pumpkins and squash are ready when stems turn dry and corky. Cut fruits and leave them in the sun or on a windowsill for 10–14 days to harden skins for storage. Companion Planting Good companions include sweetcorn and beans, which provide shade and help deter pests, while pumpkins suppress weeds with their broad leaves.
