Planting & Care

Sow Big Max pumpkin seeds outdoors after the last frost date, when soil has warmed to at least 70°F. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing 36-48 inches apart. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings emerge, thin to the strongest plant per hill.

For optimal growth, provide plenty of sunlight and rich soil. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells. To encourage larger pumpkins, you can remove extra fruits from the vine, allowing the plant to focus energy on a few pumpkins. Harvest when the rind is hard and the color is fully developed, typically in late summer to early fall.
