Plant after danger of frost, in a sunny area. Pumpkins need room, so give these giants 8’–12′ each way between hills. Turn in a spade full of rotted manure or compost in soil loosened 6″ deep. Water well. Thin to 2 best plants per hill. When fruit reaches 3″ in diameter, remove but 3 or 4 each vine. For real giants, plant in pure compost and remove all fruit but 1 closest to the main stem. Mulch well to keep fruit from wet ground.
