Depending on the size of the pumpkin variety you planted, the pumpkins should reach maturity at around 100 days. Pumpkins larger than 25 pounds might take 120 days, while small cucurbits, often used for tabletop decorations, can be ready in as few as 80 days.
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.
