Overview

Treasured for their ease of cultivation, high food production and excellent storage, pumpkins have been a staple crop in the Americas for millennia. Widely known as an iconic Halloween and fall crop, orange-fleshed varieties are rich in beta carotene, antioxidant vitamins C and E, and potassium.

Conditions

Pumpkins require warm temperatures (above 70°F) before planting. For soil, use a fertile well-draining potting mix that’s tailored for vegetables. Add ample compost or manure, as pumpkins are heavy feeders. For best quality crop, provide full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight per day). Pumpkins also need ample vining space, so plan accordingly.

Planting

Pumpkins are a warm-weather crop with a long growing season that prefer to be planted directly in the garden. Plant seeds in late spring when the soil is at least 70°F and frost danger has passed. Use our grow calendar tool to find specific planting dates for your region! Seeds germinate in 7-14 days.

Plant 4-6 seeds in groupings 1/2-1" deep spaced 4-6 feet apart. Plant seeds in “pumpkin hills” - slightly raised mounds above the normal garden floor. This helps keep soil temperature warmer. Thin to 1 plant per spacing interval after seedlings are established. 

Care

Pumpkins are heavy feeders. Regular treatments of manure, compost, or fertilizer mixed with water will sustain good growth. Use a high nitrogen formula in early plant growth, and switch to a high phosphorus fertilizer before the blooming period.

Pinch off each vine end after a few pumpkins have formed. This will stop vine growth and encourage fruit growth. As fruits develop, they should be turned (with great care not to hurt the vine or stem) to encourage an even shape.

Pests and Disease

Common cucurbit diseases include powdery mildew, downy mildew, bacterial wilt, and phytophthora. Avoid problems with adequate soil drainage, good air flow, insect pest control, and crop rotation. If necessary, check with your local Cooperative Extension Service agent for specific control options.

Cucumber beetles, squash bugs, and vine borers are all common pests for cucurbits. Protect young plants with floating row covers. Squash bug eggs found on the undersides of leaves may be crushed by hand. For vine borers, cut out of vines and hill soil over the wound. Keep field borders mowed and remove plant refuse in the fall; spring plow to bury pupae. C. moschata types are less susceptible to vine borers. Insecticides (specifically, pyrethrin sprays) may offer some control.

Harvest

Fruits can tolerate 1-2 light frosts, however, temperatures below 28°F/-2°C can damage fruit.
Pumpkins are ripe when rinds have turned orange and hardened, and a “thump” with your finger feels hard and sounds hollow. Harvest by clipping handles close to the vine. Let the pumpkins cure in the sun for a week prior to bringing indoors or transporting.

Stride Rite is Supreme
Size: 8 Toddler, Color: Tan
I have always loved the Stride Rite quality! The shoes are extremely durable. They’re very attractive and easy to dress up or down so that I don’t have to keep five pairs of shoes on hand at all times. The sole is nice and thick and it accommodates wide or regular feet. I love that they use Velcro, which makes it easy to put on. It gives my daughter plenty of cushion when she’s playing outside.

Darling Shoe
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: White
I’ve always been skeptical about purchasing online due to the fact that I’m the kind of person that needs to touch/feel, try out the product. However, when I saw these plus, coming from a brand that I trust, I decided to give them a try. Oh I’m so glad I did! These shoes are just darling! What makes it even better is the comfort. My 2 year old loves her shoes and will wear them around the house just because. She’s a size 7 and that’s what I got for her and the shoe fit is true to size. The cut outs are perfect! I’ve purchased other shoes where the cut outs aren’t as great, hence the hesitation on buying these. I definitely recommend they are a 10/10! On everything even presentation but comfort is what’s important!

You can never go wrong with stride rite. Love that you can take the inserts out for a little more space. My kid has been able to wear these for kindergarten and first grade.

Cute
Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Tan
Cute and great option for preschool that requires more tennis style shoes. Love the strap is longer and can be trimmed down. Seems to have nice support and daughter can easily put them on and off herself. Only downside is the the tan area scuffs pretty easily. We purchased a different pair last year (same brand and looks very similar) and they held up from scuffing better.

Beautiful shoes
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Tan, Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Tan
Beautiful dressy shoes! I used to get another version of these for size 6 when my daughter was younger, now she’s getting into size 7, I got her a pair of these. They look great on her and she loves them. Hope they will last a while. The size 6 we had were very worn because she loves them so much that she would pick them over all her other shoes.
