How to Grow the Cutest Pumpkins: One EASY Tip!

Growing pumpkins is a pretty easy thing to do.  Plant the seeds in late June or early July and then watch them grow.  You may need to keep the squash bugs at bay by picking off adults and eggs for organic gardening or sprinkling them with a bug powder like Seven weekly.

But how do you make sure your pumpkins are the cutest around?  Don’t pick them until after the first heavy frost!  The result is so much cuteness your pumpkins almost look fake.  When you wait until it frosts you will end up with dried vines in curly ringlets around the stems of your pumpkins.   Pumpkins naturally vine out with green spirals; these vines will turn to a fall colored brown after they freeze.  Since they were frosted they will stay preserved for as long as you keep your pumpkins.
