All About Pumpkins

Pumpkins are a classic fall favorite, and they’re surprisingly easy to grow in home gardens. Pumpkin plants tend to have long, sprawling vines, but they can also grow on a trellis to save space. From miniature pumpkins, delicious pie pumpkins, and prize-winning giant pumpkins, the options are seemingly endless. With so many different varieties to choose from, there’s a perfect pumpkin for any garden situation.

Pumpkins are sun-loving plants in the Cucurbitaceae family. They grow best in consistently moist, fertile soil where they’ll get at least six hours of direct sunlight throughout the day. Plan for spacing of two to three feet between your pumpkin mounds to provide good air circulation.
