Growing
Since pumpkin seedlings do not tolerate frost, provide protective coverings if cold weather threatens. Keep the soil moist at all times,but avoid getting the leaves wet as this can cause diseases such as rot or mildew.When the vines begin to develop, a layer of mulch will help conserve moisture and control weeds,mulch also will keep the pumpkins clean and protect them from too much soil contact. By midsummer, pinch off all the blooms to concentrate the plant's energy on the developing pumpkins.
