Select a sunny location with well-drained soil and plenty of space for vines to spread. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 12 inches and incorporating compost or aged manure for added nutrients. Sow the seeds directly into the soil, planting them about 1 inch deep and spacing them 3 feet apart in rows. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the germination period. Monitor for pests such as squash bugs and powdery mildew, and take appropriate measures for pest and disease control. With proper care, you'll soon enjoy a bountiful harvest of vibrant Jack O'Lantern pumpkins perfect for Halloween carving or culinary delights.
