Harvest: Harvest fruits when the skin has turned completely orange. Cut from the vine, leaving 2-3 inch stem attached to the fruit. Store in a warm, dry spot.

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.

I had two Big Max pumpkins last year that surpassed 60lbs and two or three more that were 50+. I used horse, cow, and chicken manure. I am hoping to surpass 100lbs this year. Don't give up! Try something different this year!
