what is the growth cycle of pumpkins
Depending on the size of the pumpkin variety you planted, the pumpkins should reach maturity at around 100 days. Pumpkins larger than 25 pounds might take 120 days, while small cucurbits, often used for tabletop decorations, can be ready in as few as 80 days.
Flowers and Fruit. Before the pumpkins can develop, flowers must bloom on the pumpkin plants. It normally takes about about four weeks for the flowers to start to bud. The plant has both male and female flowers that require cross-pollinating, which is usually handled by bees.
