an actually fun fact about growing pumpkins

get those gourds a drink!

Pumpkins are about 90% water, so they need a lot of hydration to grow big and healthy. In fact, each pumpkin vine can require up to a gallon of water every day, especially during the hot growing season.

Pumpkins produce both male and female flowers on the same plant. Bees are essential in transferring pollen from male to female flowers, so without bees, there would be no pumpkins!
