Plant 3–5 seeds 1 inch deep in each mound or hill, spacing hills 3–5 feet apart with rows 6–10 feet apart. Seedlings usually appear in 7–10 days; thin to the 1–2 strongest plants per hill. In short-season areas, start seeds indoors in biodegradable pots 2–3 weeks before the last frost and transplant carefully once the danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost. Water deeply, 1–2 inches per week, at the base of the plants rather than overhead. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Feed with a balanced organic fertiliser, switching to a phosphorus-rich feed once flowering begins. Watch for squash bugs, cucumber beetles and vine borers, and rotate crops each year to prevent soil-borne diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvest and Storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest when the pumpkins are fully coloured and the rind is hard, leaving 2–4 inches of stem attached. Cure in a warm, dry place (80–85°F \/ 27–29°C) for 10–14 days, then store in a cool, dry spot (50–60°F \/ 10–15°C) for months of use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OrganicSeedsHub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45697436123319,"sku":"SPA-DEC8-353","price":16.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3335\/6471\/files\/freepik__pumpkin-plant-in-a-container-large-bright-yellow-p__76182.png?v=1767084114","url":"https:\/\/organicseedshub.com\/products\/pumpkin-seeds-for-planting-orange-pumpkins","provider":"OrganicSeedsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
