Mid-June through July 4 is the time to plant pumpkin seeds if you want to have some ready to harvest by the end of October. To produce jumbo pumpkins for show or fall fairs, plant seeds 120 days before the show date (early to mid-June). Allow plenty of space for the vines to run. Prune off the first few female flowers, then let only a few set to Baseball size. Choose the best one, and remove all others. Turn the pumpkin several times to obtain a well-shaped fruit. Pumpkins normally mature in 70-99 days, producing several fruit per vine.
