I have accidentally grown pumpkins before (compost pumpkins lol) but I am deliberately trying to plant them this year. I know they travel and spread, but I do not want to have to pull up the grass in my backyard other than for the initial planting hole...which I know should be fertilized and free of grass....BUT,
Do they have to grow in massive dirt fields, or can I just leave the grass around the planting hole and let them travel over it?
I want to dig a hole about the size of a saucer sled and just let them grow from there (without tearing up the rest of the yard)...Yes, I know that the vines and fruit may eventually kill the grass by default...
I also plan to attempt to grow a few vertically using nylon trellises and stockings for support...but do I need multiple root entry points on one plant?
