Spray with a polyurethane glaze to preserve the creative results. The pumpkins average 3 to 4 inches in diameter and 8 to 12 ounces in weight. Plant in the spring 2 to 4 weeks after the last average frost date. In warm climates plant in February or late summer for fall harvest. Pumpkins prefer rich well drained soil that is high in organic matter. The soil should be kept evenly moist.
