How to Plant Pumpkin Seeds and Grow Your Own Pumpkins

Fertilize pumpkin vines when plants are about a foot tall. Use a nitrogen-based fertilizer to feed them every other week because they&#;re heavy feeders.

Dayu are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.

Water daily in the morning. Use a soaker hose to give your pumpkins a daily, deep drink under the leaves, at the roots. Pumpkins need a lot of water, especially in the heat of summer. Don&#;t wet the leaves of the vine or you could cause the plant to get a fungal disease. So avoid overhead watering.

As pumpkins start to form, lift them off the soil to lessen the chance of their rotting. Slip a piece of cardboard or folded newspaper underneath to prevent contact with damp soil.

Prune the vines after a few pumpkins have formed so the plant&#;s energy goes towards producing blooms and feeding the baby pumpkins.

Look out for problems like squash bugs, bacterial wilt disease that&#;s spread by striped cucumber beetles and causes vines to die, and powdery mildew fungus. Treat adult beetles with neem or pyrethrum. Treat powdery mildew on the leaves with a fungicide spray.

What Sue has said is basically true of all seeds from F1 plants.
I bought a Galia Melon from the supermarket and there were all these wonderful seeds and I simply could not resist growing half a dozen (I have plenty of space) and would you believe that the net result, although it was not a Galia by any stretch of the imagination, I preferred it to the Galia. It ripened well and was wonderfully sweet but was not as big as the Galia. Now I know that I was extremely lucky to have managed that and it really is best as Sue says.
If you want to save your own seed it is best to buy open pollinated seed and then keep seed the progeny.
It would appear that Robinson Seeds include an Onion Squash which is not listed as an F1. If you go to their website there is a picture. If what is pictured there is what you bought from the Supermarket you may well be on to a winner
