Plant seeds outdoors after all frost risk has passed and soil temperature reaches 65°F. Plant 3–5 seeds 1 inch deep per mound; thin to 2 strongest seedlings. For maximum size, grow one pumpkin per vine and fertilize regularly. Water deeply but infrequently. Harvest when skin is fully orange; cut with a 2–3 inch stem attached.
