Planting & Care

Sow Jack Be Little pumpkin seeds outdoors after the last frost date, when soil temperatures have warmed to at least 70°F (21°C). Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing them 24–36 inches apart. For earlier starts, begin seeds indoors 2–3 weeks before the last frost in biodegradable pots, as pumpkins dislike root disturbance. Provide a sunny location with well-drained soil rich in organic matter.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during flowering and fruit development. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Feed with a balanced fertilizer according to package directions. Harvest when the rind is hard and the stem begins to dry, typically 90–100 days after sowing. Cure pumpkins in a warm, dry spot for a few days before using or storing.
