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 3-5 feet apart. Pumpkins require full sun and consistent moisture. Water deeply once a week, avoiding overhead watering to prevent disease. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Provide plenty of space for vines to spread, or use a trellis for vertical growth. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer when plants are about 6 inches tall and again when vines begin to run. Harvest pumpkins when the rind is hard and the color is fully developed, typically 90-110 days after planting. Cut the stem leaving a few inches attached to prolong storage.
