**Planting Instructions:**
- **Soil Preparation:** Choose well-drained, rich soil with plenty of organic matter. Pumpkins thrive in soil with a pH level of 6.0-7.0.
- **Planting Time:** Sow Connecticut Field Pumpkin seeds directly in your garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. You can also start seeds indoors 2-4 weeks before transplanting.
- **Sowing:** Plant seeds 1 inch deep, placing 2-3 seeds in each mound or hill. Space the mounds or hills about 6-8 feet apart to allow room for the vines to spread.
- **Sunlight:** Connecticut Field Pumpkins require full sun, receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Avoid wetting the foliage to prevent fungal diseases.
- **Thinning:** Once the seedlings have established and have a few true leaves, thin them to leave the healthiest plant in each mound or hill.
- **Mulching:** Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
- **Support:** While Connecticut Field Pumpkins are sturdy, providing support for the developing fruit can help prevent damage.
**Harvesting:**
Connecticut Field Pumpkins are ready for harvest when their skin turns a deep, rich orange color, and the stem begins to dry and crack. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the pumpkins from the vine, leaving a few inches of stem attached.
**Versatile Usage:**
These classic pumpkins are perfect for carving into jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween, making delicious pumpkin pies, or using them as festive autumn decorations. They are a versatile addition to your fall festivities.
