Description

A highlight from our range.

Beautiful, reddish, flat pumpkin of 2–4 kg.

Excellent as a soup vegetable.

Garbo comes in colors ranging from orange-reddish-terracotta to deep red. This interesting coloration sometimes makes it highly decorative.

In shape it is a sort of smaller Rouge Vif, but proportionally more strongly ribbed.

We selected Garbo from the South American breed Moranga exposecao . Because he truly convinced us that he's an improvement, he's now replacing this breed with us.

Maturation time: 100 days.

Moderately ranking.

This variety grows well in warm, well-drained soils.

Pre-cultivation and planting out by sowing from the end of April or direct sowing from the beginning of May.

Optimal germination occurs at 24–30°C. When sowing, place the pointed end of the seed downward or flatten it. Do not keep the seed too moist. After germination, place it in a bright, cool location.

The planting distance for pumpkins depends on the tendril behaviour.

Possible pests: snails, birds, mice, aphids, powdery mildew, viruses.
