At Pumpkin Pyle in Floydada, the timeline of working with pumpkins is:
• December of the previous year: Seeds are purchased.
• January–March: Fields are prepared by cultivating and fertilizing.
• April: Pre-watering starts.
• May–(mid) June: Planting.
• June–August: Irrigating, hoeing, spraying, bringing in bees for pollination, and watching the crops grow.
• August–October: Harvest time!
