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 are heavy feeders.

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.
