Early to flower and set fruit, this chili boasts a unique flavour - tart and citrusy like a lemon, but with the heat of a cayenne. Branching plants are of medium height (45cm) and produce plenty of pendulous, tender-skinned fruits, 5-6cm long, which turn from green to yellow as they ripen.Place seed on the surface of a free-draining compost and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 25-30?C (77-86?F) for up to 30 days. Reduce to 20?C (68?F) once germinated and maintain a minimum of 15?C (59?F) after pricking out. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots.For Indoor Crops: Plant 2 plants per growbag or individually into 20cm (8in) pots or 2 litre pots. Plant height up to 45cm (18n) with a branching habit. For Outdoor Crops: Gradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting 30cm (8in) or 2 litre pot, or a larger container on the patio. Plant in final situation from early June once frost risk has passed and protect from biting winds. Feed plants weekly with a high potash tomato fertiliser once first fruits have set.

With a unique size and shape, Pumpkin ‘Baby Bear’ produces mini pumpkins weighing up to 1kg each. Whilst the flesh is excellent for pies, the seeds can be roasted for a snack. High yields and superior storage quality.SOWING INSTRUCTIONS: Sow seeds on their sides in small 7.5cm (3in) pots of seed compost at a depth of about 2.5cm (1in). Place them in a propagator or seal the pots inside a polythene bag at a temperature of 20°C (68°F) until germination, which takes 5-7 days. Once germinated, grow plants on for about 4 weeks until they are large enough to be transplanted outdoors.GROWING ON: Gradually acclimatise over 7-10 days before transplanting into warm, well-drained, humus-rich soil in full sun, with shelter from winds. Choose a spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sun per day and prepare the soil in advance, adding plenty of well-rotted manure or compost. Plant at a minimum of 120cm (4ft) apart between plants. Pile the soil into mounds about 15cm (6in) high. Plant each pumpkin plant on top of a mound to ensure good drainage and keep them well watered until they are established.Feed with a general fertiliser a few weeks after planting.

Fruits appear golden from the very start, turning to deep orange on maturity in time for Halloween carving and cooking. Thin each plant to three fruits to achieve weights of around 4kg (9lb) – the perfect carving size. The yellow gene can also cause the first true leaves to turn yellow in cold temperatures – don’t worry about this – celebrate it as an oddity!Sow seeds on their sides in small 7.5cm (3in) pots of seed compost at a depth of about 2.5cm (1in).
