How Does a Pumpkin Grow?
Pumpkins grow best in warm, sunny places. Seeds are planted in the ground having about 4 to 5 seeds together in a circle and the seed piles about 6 to 8 inches apart from each other. Each hole that contains the 4 to 5 seeds must be about 4 inches deep. Pumpkin seeds need to be planted on small mounds or hills, and not on a flat surface. It takes about 7 to 14 days for the seeds to crack and sprout leaves. It is very important not to disturb the soil once you plant your seeds. You could break the delicate roots that begin to grow under the soil immediately. How Do You Take Care of Pumpkins? Pumpkins will undoubtedly have visitors come along while they are growing. Insects and other little critters will want to taste these yummy plants.
