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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePumpkins 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Autumn Gold Pumpkin Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795585204534,"sku":"FOLIA2-596","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7161381035_rcb9.jpg?v=1792671773","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/autumn-gold-pumpkin-seeds-25-seeds-for-7-10-lb-early-orange-fruits","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
