Instructions
Easy and fun to grow with these instructions. Direct sow or transplant in late spring when soil warms up. If transplanting, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks after the last frost date Germination is 6 - 15 days. Once the plant is established it is recommended that you hill around root base and bury tendrils in moist soil to encourage strength and nutrients while feeding the pumpkin's growth. It is also recommended to feed weekly throughout the growing season with fish or kelp based fertilizer. Keep well watered but not consistently wet. As a rule all pumpkins grow male flowers first, then the female flowers follow. The female flowers can be identified as they have tiny fruits at the base of the petals and require pollination by bees or by hand. For best results choose the healthiest fruit forming and remove all other female flowers that follow to ensure there is only one fruit per plant. This practice ensures that all the nutrients feed the lone pumpkin and encourage its optimal health and size. Consider placing a board beneath the fruit while it is developing to assist you in shifting the pumpkin as it grows so it keeps a round shape.
