Starting pumpkin from seed and when to plant them - ☽ ✧ - Δ - ✧ ☾ - The beauty of the magickal pumpkin can be planted year after year from the last year's favorite crop. The pumpkin vine is a shallow rooted plant which does need regular watering in dry or windy weather. It's literally and or here, where I am in Australia so I do give them a drink every morning on my rounds to feeding the animals. Even moisture will also help prevent the eventual fruit, from splitting. Here's an overview for planting these seeds for germination. Be mindful that pumpkin vines will take around 70–120 days to mature. Coming next is pollination & pruning. From the chapter 'Botany N to R' When to Harvest Harvest before the first hard frost in autumn or Lughnasadh/Mabon;
Harvesting At harvesting time the vines die and turn brown, whilst the pumpkins have a hard rind and are are bight orange. To harvest cut the pumpkins from the vines with sharp shears. Saving Pumpkin Seeds
