Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.
Protect ripening pumpkins from damp ground by placing them on boards. Cut pumpkins carefully from the plants to prevent damaging the vines.
Disclaimer Note: Some environmental conditions and stress can cause a plant to produce non-pink pumpkins! Conditions that may cause non-pink pumpkins include excessive heat, abnormal soil pH, and over-fertilizing. Depending on conditions, true pink pumpkins can make up 40% to 90% of the harvest. Non-pink pumpkins can exhibit blotchy coloration, ranging from blue-grey to green to salmon-orange.
