Wee-B-Little Pumpkin, an herbaceous annual winter squash, is a member of the cucurbit (Cucurbitaceae) family. It has a semi-bush habit and forms a compact vine that needs about 8 feet of garden space.
Pumpkin is easy to grow from seed, growing to its fullest potential in full sun and fertile, organically rich, moist, well-draining loams. Succession plantings every 2 to 3 weeks is recommended for continual harvest. Harvest pumpkin fruits when the rind is hard and orange in color.
A warm-season vegetable, sensitive to cold temperatures and frost, it can be direct sown into warm spring soil after all danger of frost has passed and soil temperature is 58° to 60°F, but plants can also be started indoors and transplanted. Flowers begin to set fruit with night temperatures between 55° and 75°F. Protect plants if temperatures are expected to dip below 50°F. Mulching helps to control weeds, moderate soil temperature, and to maintain soil moisture. Pumpkins are damaged by heavy frost. Row covers offer added protection from heavy frost.
