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.
Harvest pumpkins when they are deep orange and have a hard rind. This is usually in late September or early October. Pumpkin vines require a minimum of 50 to 100 square feet of growing space. Plant four or five seeds per hill at a depth of 1 inch. Space the hills 5 to 6 feet apart in rows 10 to 15 feet apart. Dry pumpkins in the sun for about 7 days to harden the skin.
