Planting to Harvest. What many people don't realize about pumpkins is that the small varieties take the same amount of time after planting before they are ready for harvest as the massive pumpkins that weigh over 100 pounds. Pumpkins need between 90 and 120 days after planting the seeds before harvest time. For the best growth, pumpkins prefer air temperatures between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The soil temperature should be above 65 degrees Fahrenheit before you plant pumpkins.
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.
