Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 12 inches and incorporating compost or aged manure. Sow the seeds directly into the soil, planting them 1 inch deep and spacing them about 3 feet apart in rows. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the germination period, which typically takes 7 to 10 days. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weed growth. Harvest the pumpkins when they develop a deep orange color and the stem begins to dry out, typically 90 to 120 days after planting.
