How to Grow Pumpkins:

Pumpkin plants can be started indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Or, seeds can be direct seeded into your garden. Plant these tender annuals outdoors after the last frost date for your area.

Pumpkins are vining plants that can quickly spread very far. Follow the spacing directions on the packet. They can vary significantly variety. Water well after planting, and a second time two to four days later, only if there has been no rain.

Pumpkin seeds can be planted in hills four to six feet apart. Sow four to six seeds per hill, thinning to two to three. Or, plant in rows six inches apart, thinning to 1 to 3 feet apart, depending upon how much space you have. Plant miniatures closer, and Giants farther apart.

Pumpkin plants are big feeders. They need a very rich soil, with lots of compost and manure (if you can get it). Fertilize on a regular basis. Use a high nitrogen formula in early plant growth. Switch over to a fertilizer high in Phosphorous (the middle number) just before the blooming period
