Growing Guide
Pumpkins grow best in warm weather and should be planted after all danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds directly into fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny location once the ground has warmed. Give plants plenty of room to spread, since pumpkins grow on vigorous vines and need space for healthy development.
Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and early vine growth, then continue deep watering through the season as fruits begin to form and size up. Harvest once fruits have fully matured and developed their full color and firm rind. White Flat Boer Ford is a great choice for gardeners who want a distinctive white pumpkin that looks beautiful in fall displays while also offering sweet, useful flesh for the kitchen.
