Small pumpkins are suitable for planting in spring and autumn. If you choose to sow in spring, you can choose early spring from December to January.

Small pumpkin planting methods and key points

1. Prepare seeds: Go to the store to buy pumpkin seeds in advance. It is best to buy recent seeds. After unpacking them, remove the seeds that are dry and have worm holes.

2. Process the seeds: Place the seeds in the sun for a while, then prepare 50-60 degree warm boiled water, soak the seeds in it to absorb moisture, then put them in moist gauze and place them in a warm place to germinate.

3. For sowing: prepare loose, fertile, well-drained nutrient soil, water it enough to keep it moist, lay the seeds flat and sow them, cover them with soil and spray water.

4. Planting: When the small pumpkin seedlings grow 3-4 leaves, they can be planted. Apply enough base fertilizer to the soil so that the roots can fully absorb nutrients and promote root growth.
