Planting & Care
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when soil temperature has warmed to at least 70°F. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing as recommended. Pumpkins require consistent moisture, especially during flowering and fruit development. Mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize at planting and again when vines begin to run.
Harvest when the rind is hard and the stem begins to dry. Cut with a few inches of stem attached for longer storage. One Too Many is ready for harvest in late summer to early fall, perfect for both cooking and decorating.
