Pumpkins, buttercups and acorns (Winter squash – Cucurbita pepo)
These are easy to grow and lots of fun to see which squash you want to use for Halloween. Direct sow 3 seeds 1 inch (2 cm) deep or begin indoors and transplant after last frost and thin to the strongest plant. Space seedling mounds well apart (i.e. 2-5 feet or 0.6-1.2 m) or in an area where the vines have space to grow and trail – larger pumpkins need larger spaces. Flowers may be male or female (have a round bulb) – each plant will produce both types at the same time at some point during season. Harvest before frost or cover and remove from garden prior to freezing temperatures
