SPACING: Leave about 4 feet between hills; space rows 4 to 6 feet apart depending upon available space.

GERMINATION: Approximately one to two weeks depending upon weather and soil warmth. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.

Ed’s Special Advice: Pumpkins grow best in a fairly rich soil kept moderately moist. Carefully cut stem an inch or two away from the pumpkin after the fruit is fairly mature. Store in a dry area at 45- to 55 F Make sure to keep off of damp cement floors.

SEED SAVING: If planted near other squash, may cross pollinate. Allow squash to fully ripen on vine. Remove seeds from squash, clean with water and dry for multiple days. Store in a cool, dry place.
