Hi, I believe pumpkins has been discussed before but I can't seem to find
old messages.
We have been asked to raise pumpkins for our ranch owner a Christian school
for the kids to come out and get pumpkins. They want small ones for the pre
school, med ones for the grade school, maybe some pie pumpkins and large
pumpkins and a couple of huge pumpkins and maybe some white pumpkins.
On the ranch we have 27 acres of Last Chance peach trees my husband takes care of. I have raised organic veggies for years and years but not pumpkins. When do you plant them?
Do you start the seeds early in pots or directly sow in the ground?
What pumpkins are the best to raise in the desert. We have hot temps, lots
of wind.
Irrigation is no problem. We plan to drip irrigate. Do you use 1 or 2
gal. emmitters?
How do you figure the number of pumpkins per plant.
The school wants about 500 small,maybe 500 Triple Treat, 50 white and 100
or more regular size.
Anyone that can give me some advice please email me.
Thank You,
MaryKay
