Planting & Care

Sow Autumn Gold pumpkin seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when soil temperatures have warmed to at least 60°F (15°C). Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing them as recommended. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination, which typically occurs in 7 to 14 days. Once seedlings are established, thin to the strongest plants to allow adequate room for vine growth.

Pumpkins benefit from consistent watering, especially during flowering and fruit development. Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk, and apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when the rind is hard and the color is fully developed, typically before the first hard frost.
