Pumpkins grow on large vining plants with large leaves, so space requirements are large also. Each plant will require about 50 ft2 in order to grow properly. Plant seeds in sets of three using as many sets, appropriately spaced, as your garden area will allow. Cover the newly planted seeds with about one inch of loose soil. Then press soil and seeds with a flat hand and water well. When the plants have sprouted three regular leaves, cull the smallest plants allowing only the largest and healthiest ones from each set to grow. Keep well watered.
If grown in very hot climate (90 degrees or higher), water is even more important, and the plants will like a little shade. Plant corn (about a foot apart, in rows tree feet apart), throughout the patch. These will yield a nice bonus in addition to the pumpkins. If they provide too much shade, cull the fullest corn plants to allow more sun. Additional plants can be started if more shade is needed.
Now, just keep the patch watered, leave them alone except for occasional weeding, and watch them grow.
