Planting time: Pumpkins are usually planted in spring and autumn, and the time is chosen between 1 month and March or July and August in autumn. Some people think it will be easier to raise seedlings and transplant, and some friends will choose to sow in autumn, which is also possible. The most important thing is to plant them when they want, whether in spring or autumn.

Planting method:

1, Selection of planting site and rectification of land: Before planting, choose the land with good drainage and irrigation with high terrain, which can prevent the land from being difficult to drain after watering and causing water accumulation. After selecting the land, rectification is needed. First, deep tillage should be carried out to make the soil softer, and then fertilizer should be used as base fertilizer, which can ensure fertility and grow well in the later period.

2. Sowing method: After the land is treated, you can start sowing. Put three to five seeds in each hole according to the interval, and then bury the soil.

3. Post-management: When the seedlings grow tall, the top seedlings can be removed. The purpose is to make them grow more vines, which can increase the yield of pumpkins. The late-stage fertilizer supplement can be done when the plants are just finished or when the vines grow to about 20 cm.

Matters needing attention in pumpkin planting

Good varieties of pumpkins are mainly manifested in their heat tolerance and strong disease resistance, because it is easier to achieve high yield of pumpkins. Another point is the taste of pumpkin. Good pumpkin varieties usually have a good taste. Generally speaking, we should choose pumpkin varieties that are not only sweet but also dense in powder and meat, and the content of sugar and starch can reach more than 20% for planting, which is more popular with consumers.

Soil is very important for pumpkin planting. If the acidity and alkalinity in the pumpkin planting land are different, it will also have a certain impact on its growth, especially the soil must contain trace elements. If the soil is insufficient in nutrients and trace elements, it needs to be supplied through fertilizers.
