Overview

Treasured for their ease of cultivation, high food production and excellent storage, pumpkins have been a staple crop in the Americas for millennia. Widely known as an iconic Halloween and fall crop, orange-fleshed varieties are rich in beta carotene, antioxidant vitamins C and E, and potassium.

Conditions

Pumpkins require warm temperatures (above 70°F) before planting. For soil, use a fertile well-draining potting mix that’s tailored for vegetables. Add ample compost or manure, as pumpkins are heavy feeders. For best quality crop, provide full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight per day). Pumpkins also need ample vining space, so plan accordingly.

Planting

Pumpkins are a warm-weather crop with a long growing season that prefer to be planted directly in the garden. Plant seeds in late spring when the soil is at least 70°F and frost danger has passed. Use our grow calendar tool to find specific planting dates for your region! Seeds germinate in 7-14 days.

Plant 4-6 seeds in groupings 1/2-1" deep spaced 4-6 feet apart. Plant seeds in “pumpkin hills” - slightly raised mounds above the normal garden floor. This helps keep soil temperature warmer. Thin to 1 plant per spacing interval after seedlings are established. 

Care

Pumpkins are heavy feeders. Regular treatments of manure, compost, or fertilizer mixed with water will sustain good growth. Use a high nitrogen formula in early plant growth, and switch to a high phosphorus fertilizer before the blooming period.

Pinch off each vine end after a few pumpkins have formed. This will stop vine growth and encourage fruit growth. As fruits develop, they should be turned (with great care not to hurt the vine or stem) to encourage an even shape.

Pests and Disease

Common cucurbit diseases include powdery mildew, downy mildew, bacterial wilt, and phytophthora. Avoid problems with adequate soil drainage, good air flow, insect pest control, and crop rotation. If necessary, check with your local Cooperative Extension Service agent for specific control options.

Cucumber beetles, squash bugs, and vine borers are all common pests for cucurbits. Protect young plants with floating row covers. Squash bug eggs found on the undersides of leaves may be crushed by hand. For vine borers, cut out of vines and hill soil over the wound. Keep field borders mowed and remove plant refuse in the fall; spring plow to bury pupae. C. moschata types are less susceptible to vine borers. Insecticides (specifically, pyrethrin sprays) may offer some control.

Harvest

Fruits can tolerate 1-2 light frosts, however, temperatures below 28°F/-2°C can damage fruit.
Pumpkins are ripe when rinds have turned orange and hardened, and a “thump” with your finger feels hard and sounds hollow. Harvest by clipping handles close to the vine. Let the pumpkins cure in the sun for a week prior to bringing indoors or transporting.

My dog’s favorite toy
Color: Black
I’ve bought my dog 1 million different dog toys. This is his absolute favorite. I would highly recommend them. The handle makes it easy for the dog to grip.

This toy is awesome
Color: Black
This ball is awesome! We always have a hard time finding toys that last with our 100+ lb pitbull. He usually can shred a squeaky toy in less than a few hours depending on the material. But this one is still going Strong after him having full access to it for around 3 weeks. He just turned 3 and because he's a bigger boy it doesn't take him long to get tired, but he will play with it for a good 15 mins straight at any given time. Not only is the handle still in tact, it also still squeaks! I would definitely recommend this toy for super chewers.

Fun while it lasted!
Color: Black
This was purchased for my 45 pitbull mix, for context. I assumed it would be tough enough to last… well, longer than it did. Within a few minutes, she’d chewed most of the handle off. After that, it lost a lot of its appeal. When she gets bored, she goes back to it. I purchased 2 weeks ago and the tennis ball inside is now missing and shredded somewhere in my house, while maybe 1/4 of the actual ball remains. Toy - 0, small pibble (Willow) - 1

Dog entertainment
Color: Black
Pit/Heeler mix will go through this toy in a day or less lol but ours enjoys it while nit lasts. Great for tossing with the handle and the "jumbling" roll keeps him on his toes. Low cost enables replacement as needed as well as bulk buys.

Not durable, not suitable for heavy chewers
Color: Black
Our pitbull chewed the handle off this toy in less than an hour, had to take it from him and throw it away. Thought I would take the tennis ball out and he could have that to play with, but the tennis ball inside was also cheap and not durable, he managed to split the tennis ball open in 30 minutes as well.
