More water may be required during hot, windy summer days. The weight of large pumpkins may snap the vine. To continue to encourage robust growth, start a foliar feeding program after you see fruit set on the vines. There are several foliar fertilizers available. If growing a giant pumpkin is a bit too much for your space or interest, the class will also cover squash and miniature pumpkins that can be used as table decorations, pumpkins for carving, and growing pumpkins for food preparation.
Pumpkins come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colors.
