Pumpkin vines need fertile, compost-rich, well-drained soil in full sun and are most easily grown as ground-cover plants. Vines can be trained over frames provided they can support the weight of the heavy fruit.
In frost-free subtropical gardens, pumpkins can be grown all year round. In other areas, sow after the last frost. Pumpkin seed needs a soil temperature of 20 degrees C for germination. Raise seedlings by sowing them individually in plant growing bags (SEE OUR Plant Growing Bags) plant when bags are filled with roots. Alternatively, sow seed or plant seedlings into mounds of rich compost formed over loosened soil. Best to plant directly. Plants take 70 to 120 days to mature. As pumpkins are shallow-rooted they need regular watering in dry or windy weather. Even moisture helps prevent fruit splitting.
Pinch out growing tips of rambling stems to contain plants. When fruits are finished swelling, remove them with as much of the stalk as possible. Ripe fruits with unbroken skin store very well if kept in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space
