how long does it take for pumpkins to grow?

Question

does 1 seed grow 1 pumpkin? how many seeds do you plant?

Answer 1

Pumpkins are long season plants.......at least 90 days. So if you are planting now, unless you live where frost doesn't come until November or December, you could be too late.

One plant will produce a pumpkin to two, but you are better off with several plants if possible. The male and female flowers appear at slightly different times (on the same plant) so if the bees have the opportunity to go between plants, then they have a better chance of pollinating the female flowers from the pollen in the male flower. To get the best pumpkin you should only allow one pumpkin to develop per plant....OK, maybe 2 pumpkins, but any more and there will be too much competition for nutrients and the squashes won't get very big.

Answer 2

It may take 2 to 4 months with proper care. Remember the time you planted it and water it at that time every day. Also one seed produces one plant which means a chance of 5 to 10 pumpkins. So remember plant the seeds close by each other. Then get some rope when it is at least 1 1/5 months old so let the plant twist around the rope.

Answer 3

Depending on where you live, it's probably too late to start pumpkins. Usually they take about 90 days, at least, to bloom, set fruit and harden for harvest.
One seed will produce 1 plant, which can produce numerous pumpkins.

Answer 4

Pumpkins take anywhere from 90 days to 120 days. Depends on the variety and size.
