Does Tims Pumpkin Patch have to replant the pumpkins each year or do they just reseed themselves?
We get asked this question quite frequently because many people have had experience with throwing their pumpkin out in the compost pile and then have new ones pop up in the Spring. Each year we have to replant the pumpkins with new seeds that we carefully select and buy from seed catalogs. This is because the pumpkins that we plant are Hybrids and do not have the ability to reseed themselves on such a large scale. Also, we plant the pumpkins in rows that are spaced out, so the vines will have plenty of room to stretch out and grow big pumpkins.
