How to sow and care for Musk Pumpkin

It would help if you created hills before you could plant your seeds. The best place to grow Musk Pumpkin is in elevated piles of soil. Doing so can maintain good drainage and help keep the soil and seeds warm. High-lying soil warms up faster than low-lying soil. Seeds will sprout when the soil temperature is 18 degrees Celsius, but 23 degrees Celsius is optimal. Avoid planting seeds too early, especially if it is a wetter spring than usual, as seeds will rot in cold soil. Each hill should have 12 inches of soil and should be spaced 6 feet apart. Five to six seeds per hill should be buried one inch deep, pointing downward; delicate plants will grow to three or four when they germinate.

The seedlings should be thinned by cutting them with scissors. The roots will be disturbed by pulling the remaining seedlings from the ground. When roots are disturbed, they become sensitive. Once you have transplanted your seedlings that you started indoors or your direct-sown seeds have germinated, you need to water them at least an inch each week. Water them close to the roots. Watering wands with long handles are ideal. Keep your garden weeding to prevent pumpkins from competing for water and nutrients. Mulching the soil with two to three inches of mulch keeps it moist and contains weed seeds from germinating. Mulch should never touch vines when used around pumpkins.
