Germination and Growing:

The seeds of this plant need temperatures between 15 and 20° to germinate. Until germination, the seeds should always be kept slightly moist, regardless of whether you pre-germinate them or germinate the seeds directly in or on potting soil. It is generally helpful to use a heated mini-greenhouse to increase the germination rate and to provide the seedlings with a favourable climate for their first growth phase. After about 3 to 12 days you should be able to spot the first seedlings.

Eating Culture From Japan - The Hokkaido

The green Hokkaido, which originated in Japan, is said to be not only very tasty but also particularly healthy. It is certain that it contains plenty of vitamins and carotene and has a slightly nutty flavour. The pumpkins themselves are strikingly green and flattened on the outside, while the flesh inside glows a rich orange. If you cook or bake the green Hokkaido, e.g. as an oven vegetable, soup or gratin, you don't have to peel it - the skin becomes soft and edible through heating. Like all pumpkin varieties, the green Hokkaido prefers sunny locations, nutrient-rich soils and sufficient water.
