How easy or hard to grow pumpkins in your garden?
Late Spring 2020, I grew several pumpkin seedlings in the pots and stored in the greenhouse for germinate through warm and heat.
Late Spring 2020, I grew several pumpkin seedlings in the pots and stored in the greenhouse for germinating through warm and heat. Early Summer came along, and the pumpkin seedlings were ready for planting outside. The seedlings were only a finger length size before planting in the soil of the field.
Mm, I decided to look at the fields where there is more sunlight and protect from winds and cold. Simple I found a few places and planted several pumpkin seedlings in the ground.
Came the rains over a couple days which count our blessing to have water for the gardens. Sunshine and heat came after the rainy days and oh boy, what a scorching and humidity week!

Rusty came over as he finished mowing the lawn and look, mum! The pumpkin section has shot out and spread over the yard. We went walking over to inspected the pumpkin patch and our dogs for they love to walk with me. There were three watermelon seedlings there right at the gate as well. These seedlings were not big enough but the more they will receive sunlight and water and they will grow quickly. We do have another lot of watermelon plots in the vegetables garden at the back near the barn.
Oh boy! How faring, seedlings grown from finger size to a large patch after all in such short timing in several weeks?
What a delight to see the pumpkin seedlings are in the right spot with plenty of sunshine, warmth, shelter and rain!
In the previous planting were the sunflowers and they grew well except for windy spot. The only way to stop sunflowers falling over or bending over was to tie them up. I will find another site for planting and growing sunflowers away from the windy area—this project added to my gardening project plan.
Yes, we have plenty of pumpkins popping up when I go for a walk and inspect any damage by dogs or pest animals. If the vine gets too big and not feeding back to the pumpkin, I will pinch the vine’s tip so the pumpkin will produce more and bigger even fatter. No matter small or big pumpkin vines you wish for until the summer season is almost ending.
