Growing Non-GMO Autumn Moon & Ghoulie Mixed Pumpkin Vegetable Seeds

Direct sow into the ground after your last frost date, or start your seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before earlier. Use biodegradable pots to reduce transplant shock. Sow seeds 1 inch deep in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. Maintain consistent moisture without overwatering. Germination typically occurs within 7 to 10 days. If starting indoors, harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week before transplanting them into the garden.

Plant in a location that receives full sunlight—at least 6-8 hours daily. Space the plants 2 to 4 feet apart to accommodate their sprawling vines, with rows 6 to 10 feet apart. You can provide vertical support for the pumpkins and train them to grow upward, but the fruits may need support as they grow. Mulching around the plants can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. As the vines grow, guide them away from other plants or paths to prevent overcrowding. Regular watering is crucial, particularly when the fruits begin to set. Pumpkins are heavy feeders, so apply a balanced fertilizer or compost every few weeks to support healthy growth and fruit development.

Autumn Moon & Ghoulie Mixed Pumpkin in the Vegetable Garden

In the vegetable garden, Autumn Moon & Ghoulie Mixed Pumpkins serve primarily as ornamental or food crops rather than companion plants or cover crops. However, their large leaves can help suppress weeds and shade the soil, reducing moisture evaporation.

Harvesting Autumn Moon & Ghoulie Mixed Pumpkin

Harvest Autumn Moon & Ghoulie Mixed Pumpkins when the rinds are hard, and the skin has developed its full color—typically 80-90 days after planting. The vines will begin to die back, and the stems will harden and turn brown. Use sharp garden shears to cut the pumpkin from the vine, leaving a few inches of stem attached to prevent rotting. Avoid carrying the pumpkins by the stem, as it can easily break, leading to early decay. Cure the pumpkins in a warm, dry location for about ten days before storing them in a cool, dry place.

About Autumn Moon & Ghoulie Mixed Pumpkin Garden Seeds

To encourage larger pumpkins, remove some of the smaller fruits early in the growing season, allowing the plant to focus its energy on fewer, larger pumpkins.

Avoid planting pumpkins in poorly drained soil or areas that don’t receive full sunlight. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other fungal diseases.

Both varieties are as delicious as they are decorative. Both are known to be sugary pie pumpkins and will not disappoint when used in baked goods.

Pumpkins are great sources of vitamins A and C, as well as fiber.

Tips From Our Gardeners

"I recommend taking spacing recommendations very seriously. Powdery mildew is a constant concern on cucurbits in my humid area. Proper spacing encourages good airflow and reduces spore travel."
