Hi,
I am trying to grow pumpkins and I was wondering if you have to grow it
on a hill like you grow most squash. What conditions do you need for
growing watermelon? Also, do pumpkins and watermelons grow in
Colorado?
Sow seeds _in_ a hill, not _on_ a hill.
Sowing 'in a hill' means three seeds close together, as opposed to sowing in
a row (i.e., corn, beans, carrots), where the individual seeds are sown x
inches apart.
For watermelon, sow 5 - 7 seeds in hills about 6' apart, then thin to leave
the three best plants.
