Planting & Care
Sow Connecticut Field pumpkin seeds outdoors after the last frost date, when soil temperatures have warmed to at least 70°F. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing 36-48 inches apart. Pumpkins require full sun and consistent moisture, especially during flowering and fruit development. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Feed plants with a balanced fertilizer early in the season, then switch to a low-nitrogen formula once flowers appear to encourage fruit set. Harvest pumpkins when the rind is hard and the color is fully developed, typically before the first hard frost. Cut with a few inches of stem attached to improve storage life.
