Planting & Care

Soil & Water: Pumpkins prefer loam or sandy soil high in organic matter to hold large amounts of moisture. Requires heavy and even water. Preferred soil pH is between 6.0-7.0.

Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost or sow seed directly when soil temperature reaches 70°F. To begin growing earlier, use mulching plastics and row covers to warm the soil. Place a board underneath the fruit to help prevent rotting.

Harvesting & Storage: For immediate use, harvest when the skin loses its sheen. For storage, harvest pumpkins when fully mature. Cut the fruit from the vine, leaving 4"-6" of stem. Cure for storage by setting in a warm, dry location for 1-2 weeks.

Inadvertently Sharing My Pumpkins

I purchased these seeds in hopes of growing some good sized pumpkins by at least October. The plants all started off by containing small pumpkins which would have grown into large pumpkins. However, I didn’t realize that even birds like crows are also interested in them as well. I tried putting Tabasco sauce on the tiny developing pumpkins to deter them from being eaten. Obviously these pumpkins are really tasty even with hot sauce. I will be trying these again next growing season. I was really happy to see the small pumpkins on the plants in the beginning. These plants produced many flowers in the process of becoming pumpkins. They are really hardy plants.

Good Seeds Grow Hardy Plants

I purchased these Big Max pumpkin seeds since I wanted to grow pumpkins to carve and use in pie making when they grow to size by October or November. These seeds are off to a fabulous start
and I am very pleased at how well they are germinating and growing super strong. This is the first time trying I have attempted to grow a pumpkin. Can’t wait for the final results. I wanted to send a photo of how healthy and strong they look.
