Planting Instructions:

1. Timing: Plant pumpkin seeds after the last frost date when soil temperatures have reached at least 70°F (21°C). In warmer climates, seeds can be planted earlier.

2. Soil Preparation: Choose a sunny location with well-draining, fertile soil. Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to boost nutrient content.

3. Sowing Depth: Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spaced 4-6 feet apart in rows, or in hills with 3-4 seeds per hill, spaced 6-8 feet apart. Thin seedlings to the strongest plant per hill.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply at the base of the plants to encourage deep root growth.

Growing Conditions:

1. Sunlight: Pumpkins need full sun to thrive. Ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

2. Temperature: Pumpkins grow best in temperatures between 75-85°F (24-29°C). Protect young plants from frost and provide shade in extremely hot climates.

3. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost at planting and again when the vines begin to run and set flowers.

Care Tips:

• Weeding: Keep the area around the pumpkin plants free from weeds, which can compete for nutrients and water. Mulching can help suppress weeds and retain soil moisture.
• Pruning: Prune vines as needed to control growth and direct energy into fruit production. Remove any damaged or dise

ased foliage.

• Pest Control: Monitor for common pests like squash bugs, cucumber beetles, and aphids. Use organic pest control methods and encourage beneficial insects to keep pest populations in check.
• Pollination: Ensure good pollination by attracting bees to your garden. Hand pollinate if necessary by transferring pollen from male flowers to female flowers.

Harvesting and Storage:

• Harvest Time: Pumpkins are ready to harvest when they have developed a deep, consistent color and the rind is hard. This typically occurs 75-120 days after planting, depending on the variety.
• Harvesting Method: Cut the pumpkin from the vine, leaving a few inches of stem attached to prolong storage life. Handle pumpkins gently to avoid bruising.
• Curing: Cure pumpkins in a warm, dry place for 1-2 weeks to harden the skin and extend storage life.
• Storage: Store cured pumpkins in a cool, dry place with good air circulation. Properly stored pumpkins can last for several months.
