Some days ago I stumbled on a content from a random account with originated post der-prophet@der-prophet which is about planting and writing about the development of growing your own pumpkin. Fortunately, I have been able to create small garden beside a fence at the back of my house. Though my initial plan was to grow okro, jute mallow, Lagos spinach and uguw pumpkin. So that's why I am using that opportunity to join the hive-world-champ@hive-world-champ such that as I'm updating about my garden, I will as well be using that opportunity to update the development of my pumpkin on the hive-world-champ@hive-world-champ platform.

What type of pumpkin am I planting and what is the method of planting the pumpkin?

If you are someone who's familiar with pumpkin family, you will discover that there are varieties and different kinds and types of pumpkin all over the world. We can even say it's uncountable, the funniest thing is, anyone of them that you come across has it own name attached to it. But for me, the type of pumpkin I'm planting is fluted pumpkin leaves popularly known as Ugu leave most especially in the Eastern part of Nigeria. The fluted pumpkin leaves is common among the Ibos before it spreads to the other part of Nigeria.

Normally, the fluted pumpkin leaves has seed which can be planted by digging and covering soil method but the seed is not so common but can be found with People selling seeds in the Agro store. When you are able to get it from them, the next thing is to transplant. What is transplanting method? It's the process moving a plant from the primary bed to the secondary bed.

The method of planting.

The method that I used for planting the fluted pumpkin leaf is by digging and covering soil method from the primary bed to the secondary bed. The primary bed is from the agro store that I bought the seed that's already germinated.

When I got home, now in my small garden, I dug a small hole and filled it with water.

After I filled it with water,I removed the nylon that is used to house the seeds and then place in the small hole and cover it with soil.

I will like to suggest that the pumpkin challenge on hive-world-champ@hive-world-champ should have a tag and maybe if there can be suggestion on any designated community to post our contents concerning the pumpkin competition.
