I have a couple acres of sandy soil I have been planting to pumpkins for close to twenty years. I harvest it as soon as I can in September, disk it up and plant rye cover as soon as the crop is harvested. Spray with Roundup the first of May. Run my digger through it a week or so later. Run a tiller through it a week or two later and Plant by June 1. Been using Strategy weed killer after planting. Side dress the rows a few weeks later with Fertilizer. Run tiller between the rows later in July and use Eco Weeder in the rows. Usually hit it once with Sevin for bug control. Usually have a good crop to sell in my stand every year. I do have a couple more acres I plant also but may rotate with Corn.
You said your ground was wet resulting in not so good a crop last year. I might add last year was a bad year for allot of us and pumpkins do not like wet cold ground which I also had in a couple other plots I have that didn't do well last year.
