{"product_id":"pumpkin-jack-o-lantern","title":"Jack O' Lantern Pumpkin Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eJack O' Lantern Pumpkins are a harvest season tradition—their classic rounded form, deep ribs, and rich orange skin make them the quintessential Halloween decoration, but they're equally wonderful for hearty soups, roasted seeds, and autumn cooking. Watching these impressive fruits develop from delicate yellow flowers is one of the most satisfying experiences in the vegetable garden, and a single planting provides more than enough pumpkins for the whole family and the neighbors too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct sow after last frost when soil has warmed to 70°F, or start indoors 2–3 weeks before transplanting. Give plants generous space—vines spread 6–10 feet. For the best size and quality, limit each plant to 3–4 developing fruits. Water deeply but infrequently at the base, avoiding wet foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cucurbita pepo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e After last frost; soil 70°F+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–6 feet apart; 3 seeds per hill, thin to 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Germination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7–14 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90–100 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15–25 lbs; classic round shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun (8+ hours)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to high — deep, infrequent watering at the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy to moderate (needs ample space)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heirloom, Open-Pollinated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Seattle Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46616754618557,"sku":"sku-39686526894288","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/8205\/5613\/files\/pumpkin_2021__45346.png?v=1775749675","url":"https:\/\/bhhec.com\/products\/pumpkin-jack-o-lantern","provider":"Black Hills Health Retreat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
