Ideally, harvest pumpkins on a dry, sunny day. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the prickly vines. Use hand pruners or a sharp knife to cut the vine on either side of the stem. Give your pumpkin at least a few inches of stemâup to 6 is fantastic. You can trim off excess vine pieces later.
Vine crops can be seeded directly in the garden but need warm soils (65Â°F at 2 soil depth) to germinate properly. In Minnesota planting is typically in late May to early June. Plant pumpkin and winter squash seeds 3/4 inch deep, 24-36 inches apart. Use the closer spacing if the variety is a bush type. Spacing between rows should be 5-6 feet apart. Pumpkins and winter squash can be transplanted to help extend the season in the Northern parts of the state, or to help guarantee a full stand.
