The Story
These huge, easy-to-grow pumpkins can tip the scales at well over 100 pounds while retaining a uniform, round shape ideal for carving spectacular jack-o’-lanterns. Very thick, yellow-orange flesh makes delicious pumpkin pies and soup purée, unlike most other varieties of large pumpkins that are less suited for culinary use; and, yes, there’s plenty of it for canning or freezing, too!
Growing Instructions: Sow seeds outdoors in 12" diameter hills after danger of frost has passed. Hills should be spaced 6-8' apart. Can also be started indoors 3 weeks before planting outdoors.
- Direct Seed: 1" Deep
- Seeds to Hill: 3-4 Seeds
- Thin: To 3-4 plants
- Light: Full Sun
