Planting/Growing Tips:
Most pumpkins, even the smaller heirloom pumpkins like Small Sugar, need a lot of room to grow. Plant in hills to allow for the most space. Plant 3-6 seeds per hill and later thin them back to the strongest 3 seedlings. Pumpkins, especially some of these heirloom pumpkins like the Mammoth Gold, can get really big with a lot of manure. If you want to grow a giant don’t hold back!

Maintenance and care:
Black plastic mulch can speed growth, especially in cool, short-season areas. At the end of the season, remove or till in vines to reduce mildew. Use row covers to protect plants early in the season and to prevent insect problems. Remove before flowering to allow pollination by insects or when hot weather arrives.
Mulching plants helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Mounding soil around the base of the plants can discourage squash borers from laying eggs.
