Pumpkin (Cucurbita) is a genus of herbaceous fruits in the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae, They are variously known as squash, pumpkin, or gourd, depending on species, variety, and local parlance. They tend to grow best when they are planted in average, moist and well-drained soil, will tolerate sandy soil, loamy soil, clay soil and moist soil. Now open the seed packet on a white sheet of paper as while opening the seeds might fall, which are not visible to naked eyes. After preparing the soil, insert the seeds into the prepared nursery bed to 1/2 inch to 1 inch of depth. while watering to the plant care needs to be taken such as sprinkling water through a sprinkler or manually using your hands, do not use pipe or a mug to water for the first week, as the force of water might damage the seed germination process. Once the seeds grow in to seedlings, say Maaund 3 inches, then you may transplant the seedlings to various pots or desired areas. The sapling needs to be checked at regular intervals to ensure it is not infected by any weed/pest or insect add composit to the soil for removal of insects and make soil clean and fresh for home garden and kitchen garden and also mix soil with other mud and soil for better result in growing plant. DO's: Put seeds 0.5 inch depth inside the soil and add water or spray slowly and timely such that seeds does not come out the soil. can be use all Season, Note: If sowing seeds indoors, transplant the seedlings to the sunny garden spot when they are several inches tall.
