Growing Tips for Fairytale Pumpkin Seeds:

  1. Planting: Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors after the last frost. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in rich, well-drained soil, spacing them 3-4 feet apart to allow ample room for growth.
  2. Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost or organic matter. A pH of 6.0-6.8 is ideal for optimal growth.
  3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions, to encourage strong root development.
  4. Sunlight: Requires full sun to thrive. Ensure plants receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  5. Maintenance: Minimal maintenance needed. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Train vines to grow in a controlled direction if space is limited.
  6. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and larger pumpkins.
