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

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.

huge pumpkins
Reviewed By: Russ Kadisak (Highland, In)
I planted two pumpkin plants in an area no bigger than 15ft by 20 ft. One pumkin grew to 375lbs. The other pumpkin grew about 250.bs. All I did was water alot and spray for bugs alot, since I did not plan to eat them. A good idea is place plastic under the pumpkins to keep from rotting out to soon and cover to keep the sun off, so they dont ripen too soon.

Good size

We planted these at 2 different sites, a few miles apart. At one site the bugs got to them and killed off the plants. At the other site they grew great. Weekly fertilizing and a little water, we only watered them with 5gal buckets so they did not get anywhere near 100gal per day, more like 15gal a week and rain of course. Our largest was 180lb with several others over 100lb. I certainly think it is possible to grow them larger with a bit more care, but it was fun and the kids loved them. Bug spray would be a good idea if you don't mind using it.

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
