Description

How to Grow Field Pumpkins:
  1. Choose the Right Variety: You’ve found them now.
  2. Planting Time: Plant seeds after the last frost when the soil is around 70°F (21°C). Sow seeds 1–2 inches deep in well-drained, fertile soil or start off in pots around mid April in a heated propagator
  3. Location: Choose a sunny spot with 6–8 hours of sunlight per day. Space plants 4–6 feet apart and rows 8–12 feet apart.
  4. Watering: Water deeply and consistently, keeping soil moist but not soggy. Water at the base to prevent fungal issues.
  5. Feeding: Use a balanced fertilizer or one rich in potassium and phosphorus. Side-dress plants with compost as they grow.
  6. Vine Management: Prune excess vines to encourage fruit growth. Place pumpkins on straw or cardboard to avoid rot.
  7. Pest Control: Watch for pests like  aphids. Use organic methods to control them.
  8. Pollination: Ensure bees or other pollinators visit your plants. If needed, hand-pollinate the flowers.
  9. Harvesting: Harvest when pumpkins are fully coloured, firm, and the stem is dry. Cure for 7–10 days in a warm, dry place before storage.

With these easy steps, you’ll grow healthy, productive field pumpkins!
