Growing Non-GMO Lil Pump-Ke-Mon Pumpkin Vegetable Seeds
To start this beautiful pumpkin, plant your seeds 1 inch deep, either directly sown or as an indoor start. For the best germination rates, make sure your soil is 65-85 F. If starting your seeds indoors, we recommend using a heating mat to maintain good soil temperatures. Transplant after there are at least two true leaves and you have hardened off the start. Do not transplant until you have passed your location's last frost date.

When you are ready, cut the stem using a sharp knife or cutting tool.

Tips From Our Gardeners
"As pumpkins are a type of squash, they are susceptible to the most common squash pests, including vine borers. I recommend checking your vines regularly for damage. Once leaf damage is visible, it is often too late to save your plant."
