Sowing The Seed
Pumpkins are best established directly outdoors in the summer. Be sure to select a large enough area for the plants to grow and vine outwards. Remove all unwanted plant life from your sowing area, turning the dirt, or replacing the dirt with a fresh soil. Create mounds of dirt or “hills” roughly 18 to 24 inches wide and at least 8 inches high. Sow 4 seeds per mound at a depth of 1 inch under topsoil. (See below for spacing and other growth habits)
Growing Conditions
Pumpkins enjoy the heat of summer and will thrive in temperatures that are above 75F. The soil should be rich in organic matter, but will also need to be well drained. To improve drainage, it is recommended to add a light compost to any hard, compacted soil in the sowing area. This will prevent the roots from rotting. Water the seeds daily with a mild setting so that the seeds and seedlings are kept moist until germination occurs.
Germination & Growth
Connecticut Field Pumpkin seeds will begin to sprout open in roughly 7 to 14 days after sowing. The plants will grow to a mature height of 1 to 2 feet tall and 10 to 15 feet long. These plants will need a large area to grow outwards and can be spaced by hills or mounds of dirt, rather than rows. As explained above mounds should be 18 to 24 inches wide and at least 8 inches tall. Space each mound at least 6 feet apart from one another. When sprouts become visible, direct the vines outwards towards areas that do not contain other plant life.

Had nearly 100% germination when planted outdoors in the ground. Large healthy plants, multiple pumpkins. Only about 1/2 way through growing season but super pleased so far. One seed packet will make a BIG pumpkin patch.

I planted the seeds with my kids in a small area, thinking whatever is healthy enough will grow. Out of all the seeds I planted I think about 95% sprouted. I didn't put them in the best dirt available or added anything. But they shot up in a few days and look very healthy.Update: Neighbors vines grew so fast they choked out the plants and I wasn't able to see any pumpkins grow.

Grew great even in my poor soil not the prettiest pumpkins though if you like ones with thick stems at the top these aren't them.

I bought these seeds to try and grow pumpkins for my daughter to carve up. I don't have a green-thumb by any means, but i followed the directions on the packet for planting, watered daily, and the picture above is 1 month after planting (5 gallon bucket for scale)! I started a bit late in the season so I don’t expect the pumpkins to be fully grown in time for Halloween, but should be good to go for pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving dinner! I planted 6 seeds expecting to maybe get 3 sprouts, but all 6 seeds sprouted! Pictured is just 1 plant.

Like: high germination rate.Dislike: not producing the fruit advertised, and not even consistent plant to plant.

Pumpkin juice or other organic fertilizers will help dramatically. Ease to plant follow directions, pumpkins require water to grow in richer soil you might only need to water every 7 to 10 days in sandy soil where I got them every 5 days watering if it does not rain then you need to water them yourself by hand. Keep treating with organic fertilizers through out the growing cycle until harvesting. Seeds were worth buying! Recommend!
