Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required for pumpkin seeds. However, soaking seeds in water for 1-2 hours before planting can help to speed up germination.

Sowing:

Directly sow pumpkin seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed to at least 60°F (15°C).
Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space them 2-3 feet apart in rows or in mounds, depending on the variety.
Alternatively, start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Plant seeds in biodegradable pots filled with seed-starting mix, and transplant seedlings outdoors once they have developed several true leaves.

Germination:

Maintain consistent soil moisture to aid in germination. Pumpkin seeds typically germinate within 5-10 days under optimal conditions.

Transplanting:

If starting seeds indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors once they have developed several true leaves and all risk of frost has passed.
Space seedlings 2-3 feet apart in rows or in mounds, depending on the variety.

Care and Maintenance:

Water pumpkin plants regularly, aiming to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Mulch around plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the fruits clean.
Provide support for larger varieties by using trellises, cages, or slings to support developing fruits.
Monitor for pests such as squash bugs, vine borers, and powdery mildew, and treat as necessary using organic methods.
Harvest pumpkins when the fruits have reached their full color and the rinds are hard. Cut the pumpkins from the vines using sharp pruners or a knife, leaving a few inches of stem attached.

Happy gardening!
