Planting Guide
For a successful harvest of Small Sugar Pumpkins, consider the following steps:
- Your pumpkins need plenty of sunlight and space to reach their full potential.
- Once the danger of frost has passed, sow groups of 3 to 6 seeds about 1 inch deep and 4 to 6 feet apart in warm, fertile soil.
- Seedlings should sprout within 7 to 14 days.
- When seedlings are 1 to 2 inches tall, reduce them to the 2 to 3 strongest per group.
- If you're aiming for larger pumpkins, allow only one fruit per plant to mature.
Harvesting Guide
Harvest your Small Sugar Pumpkins with these guidelines:
- Pumpkins are usually ready about 105 days after planting, signaled by hard, richly orange-colored rinds.
- If a light frost damages the vines, harvest the pumpkins immediately.
- Use pruning shears to sever the pumpkins from the vine, leaving about 3 inches of stem attached.
- Allow the skin to harden in the sun for about a week for optimum results.
