How to Grow Organic Pumpkins from Seed
Growing Pumpkins (source) |
Most varieties will take between 85 - 125 days to mature. The larger variety of pumpkin, usually will take the longest time to mature.
Choose a full sun location with 20-30 feet for the vines to grow. Your site also should have good drainage. Try working some compost into the area where you'll be planting your pumpkins. This will create a nice, rich soil bed. Plant your seeds 1 - 2 inches deep. Germination usually takes place within 7 - 10 days, and once they do, add a little bit more compost around your seedling. This will help keep weeds down and help to retain moisture.
