Planting Tips for Heirloom Pumpkins:
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 once the soil warms to 65-70°. Plant 3-6 heirloom seeds per hill and later thin them back to the strongest 3 seedlings.
Pumpkins, especially some of these heirloom pumpkins like the Atlantic Giant, can get really big with a lot of manure. If you want to grow a giant don't hold back.
Heirloom seeds are hardy but always take care with your garden seeds to give them the appropriate amount of moisture - not letting the vegetable seeds dry out prematurely or overwatering and possibly having them rot. |
