Pumpkin seeds?

Question

Hello.Well I had these little pumpkind and they were starting to get rotted so I cut them opena dn got the seeds out thinking maybe I could plant them and grow little pumpkins.When do I plant them and will it even work if I do? I love to garden I have apple seeds too and looked up info for that but thought I'd ask you guy about these seeds cuz I always get better results when u guys answer.Please and thank you!! :-)

Answer 1

Some of them will almost definately grow. If you keep them in a cool dark place until spring then get some small pots (about 3 to 4 inches across), fill them with potting mixture (not potting soil, they are different), wet the mixture well and put two or three seeds in each pot. Put them in a warm, sunny window and keep them moist - do not let them dry out. After a week or two you should see something beginning to sprout, at this time you have to be careful not to overwater or they will dampen off (rot at ground level and break off). Once the waether is warmer outside (I don't know where you are so I can't give a specific time) you can transplant the survivors into larger containers and put them outside for longer periods of time until they are outside full time. Once they are outside full time and strong you can repot them again into large pots (at least 1 1/2' across and 1 to 2' deep) or plant them in the yard, water them heavily, make sure they get lots of sun and all should be well. Good luck and don't be discouraged if all the seeds don't sprout, it's highly unlikely they will.

i dont know much about gardening or growing fruits and vegetables but the one thing i kind of know is that they dont thrive in cold whether.. so unless you have your own little indoor garden with heaters or lights and such .. i would suggest waiting a few months before planting anything.. the link below is about growing pumpkins.. i hope it helps

Answer 3

Yes,you can plant the seeds.Plant them in a pot with good potting mix and when they grow to about 10cm high,transplant it in a well prepared futile area in the garden.You can do it about mid spring.
