When do you plant pumpkins?

Pumpkins are usually planted in February and March. In the first winter, you can clean up the ground, apply enough fertilizer, and bury the seeds in March in the second spring. Because the seedlings are long and grow fast, they need to be fertilized in April, May and June, so pay attention to watering. Pumpkin management is relatively extensive, because the root system is developed and the leaves take root between nodes, so we should pay attention to cultivating the soil in order to absorb nutrients.

In addition to live broadcast, pumpkins can also be planted on demand. The method is as follows: 2-3 seeds per hole, with their tips facing down, covered with soil for 2-3 cm, soaked in water and germinated at 25-30℃ for about 65,438+0-2 weeks. A pumpkin seedling can grow many branches. In order not to make the nutrients too dispersed, it is necessary to cross, and 2-3 main vines are left in one seedling. According to the soil fertility and the growth of pumpkin seedlings, the terminal buds can be removed after several births.
