Kansas Pumpkin Feeding Calendar

This is the feeding side of our Kansas pumpkin fertilizer guide, turned into dates you can pin to the shed wall. Pick your planting date and your variety, and it lays out the season: when the balanced feed goes in, when the nitrogen rounds run, when to switch, and when to stop. Print it and take it outside.

Two notes, same as the guide. The rates on the bag win, these dates are the rhythm, not a prescription. And the flower switch is something you watch for rather than schedule: when male flowers open and the first females show a swollen base, drop the nitrogen and shift to 5-10-10. Your vines set that date, not the calendar.
