I get the seeds from inside of pumpkin that I bought for cook. Then put the seeds directly on fertilized soil last 7 November 2016 and water it consistently everyday.
From what I read, it took 5 to 10 days to grow leaves [1].
On 15 Nov 16. Leaves sprouting after 8 days I put the seeds directly on soil |
By 16 Nov 16. After 9 days |

Nutrition from 245 gm pumpkin [3] would have few vitamins such as:
- folate 6%,
- Vitamin A 245%
- Vitamin C 19%
- and etc
Nutrition from 245 gm pumpkin [3] would have few minerals such as:
- calcium 4%
- iron 8%
- magnesium 6%
- manganese 11%
Well the nutrition contains in the pumpkin is more that enough for me to have in daily basis.
This is actually for fun experiment that I do. Rather than I just throw away the seeds after cooking, I decided to recycle to try to grow new pumpkin tree.

It is really nice to see my attempt succeed. And I might get to harvest pumpkin from this plant. Where it would take 95 to 120 days for the pumpkin to be ready after sowing [2].
