Product Details
Height: 24 in
Spacing: 4 - 5 to a hill, hills 8' apart
Depth: 1 inches
Spread: vine (to 25 feet)
Sun/Shade: full sun
Germination: 6-10 days
Days To Maturity: 120 days
Yield: limit to 1 fruit per vine
Comments: Planting: Sow seed when the weather is warm and all danger of frost is past. Pumpkins prefer rich, well-fertilized soil. Plant the seeds 1 inch deep, 4-5 to a hill, spacing hills 8 feet apart. Germination should take place in 6-10 days. Care: Water well during dry weather and mulch to reduce weeds. After seedlings grow 2 inches tall, thin to 2 plants per hill. For maximum size, remove all but 1 or 2 fruits from each vine and fertilize regularly. : Harvest fruits when the skin has turned completely orange. Cut from the vine, leaving a 2-inch stem attached to the fruit. Store in a warm, dry spot. This variety produces 200 to 300 pound squash-type pumpkins and is on record for having produced ones weighing over 1,000 pounds.

Poor Performance

These pumpkins arent very great plants, let alone fruit. There was a 50% germination rate, and the vines are only about 2 feet long, with no fruit whatsoever. Connecticut Field Pumpkins are much better performers. I dont know how other people grew them so easily.

Not too bad
Reviewed By: Sean (Northeast, Missouri)
Planted these in mediocre soil and they sprouted well. Vines were vigorous and just about grew out of the space I had set aside for them. They probably would have except cucumber beetles got into them and before I even realized what was goin on the plants were half dead. They didnt die and even continued to try and put out fruit but to no avail. Very susceptible to bug problems. Even after I started killin the beetles these plants never recovered. I had one pumpkin that was really on its way to getting big when the bugs hit. I dont kno how big the pumpkins will get with these. I haven't decided personally whether or not to plant these again. If given the right environment (no bugs, plenty of rain, etc) I believe they would do very well
