Instructions: You can sow a few Jack O Lantern Pumpkin seeds over a hill 9"-12" tall and 1' across. Choose an area with full sun after any chance of frost has passed. Thin to 3 plants per hill when 1" tall. When pumpkin vines are 3" high, thin to the strongest plant on each hill. Use a heavy organic mulch to control weeds.
Suggestions: Ready to harvest in fall when rind cannot be dented with a fingernail. Cut pumpkins from the vine with a sharp knife, leaving at least a 3" handle.
