Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

 No special preparation is required for pumpkin seeds.

Sowing:

Directly sow pumpkin seeds into the garden after the last frost date when the soil temperature has warmed to at least 60°F (16°C).
Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing them 2-3 feet apart. Sow 2-3 seeds per hole.
If starting seeds indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance during transplanting. Start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area.

Germination:

Pumpkin seeds typically germinate within 5-10 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period.

Transplanting:

If starting seeds indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date, once they have developed true leaves and all danger of frost has passed.
Harden off seedlings gradually before transplanting them into the garden to acclimate them to outdoor conditions.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water deeply and avoid wetting the foliage to prevent fungal diseases.
Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plants to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Pollination: Pumpkin flowers require pollination for fruit set. Encourage pollinators such as bees by planting pollinator-friendly flowers nearby.
