GROW YOUR OWN PUMPKIN Whether it is Spring or Fall, it is easy and fascinating to plant pumpkin seeds indoors and watch them sprout into seedlings. It takes approximately 8-10 days for a pumpkin seed. |
|
| MATERIALS: Potting Soil Pumpkin Seeds (1) 6" Container |
|
| DIRECTIONS: | |
| 1. | Fill your 6" container with loosely packed potting soil to one inch from the top. |
| 2. | Plant (1) seed in the container, no further than 1" under the soil. |
| 3. | Place the container in
an area that has a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit
for the best germinating conditions. Check the soil each day, making sure it is moist but not soaking. After approximately 8 - 10 days, you will begin to see the seeds sprout. Keep track of the daily growth. |
| 4. | When the plants are 3" -
4" tall, you can choose to plant your pumpkin
plants outside in the ground for optimum growth. Pumpkins require a lot of space, the vines can easily reach five yards or more. The plants like the sun and can be watered about 1 time a week. You should have fruit on your plant in approximately 90 days. |
