look out
Reviewed By: Tim A (Pittsfield, ma)
I bought two types of pumpkins, big max and Lumina. I planted them in the same bed. The big max tended to have longer vines and over took ˝ of my drive-way the vines are 20 feet long! There was some cross pollination with the lumina’s but they didn’t make it. Too bad they were funky looking. I have learned to water the roots and not the leaves. And I use 1 lb of 10-10-10 granules once a week. And look out…. They are huge… my neighbors are starting to befriend me…………a+ for sure

These pumpkins grew ok. I got one off each plant one really nice one and the other 2 were avarage size no way close to any 50+ thats a load. I wish they would have a few more than one per plant . I'll see how they turn out next year.

Reviewed By: Ken (Morrow, Ohio)
These are nice large pumpkins. It is important to plant the seeds deeper when the ground is hot and more dry. Germination occurs much better.
