This variety does not tolerate cold temperatures well thus making the best time to plant after frost which is typically mid spring when the weather is warming up. Pumpkins of all varieties require heavy watering but don't require them as frequently. Warmer soil will encourage faster growth and produce a higher crop yield. Ventilation is extremely important with this variety of pumpkin.
