Choosing the Right Container:

  1. Size: Opt for a container that’s at least 15 gallons in volume, allowing sufficient space for the pumpkin plant’s roots to spread.
  2. Depth: Ensure a depth of at least 18 inches to accommodate the deep root system of pumpkin plants.
  3. Drainage: Ensure proper drainage by drilling holes in the bottom of the container to prevent waterlogging.

Selecting the Right Pumpkin Variety:

  1. Container-Friendly Varieties: Choose compact or bush varieties like ‘Small Sugar,’ ‘Baby Boo,’ or ‘Jack Be Little’ that are suited for container growth.
  2. Consider Space: Some varieties require more space, so pick a variety that suits the size of your container.
