Know before you buy
Yes, this variety is specifically prized for its high-quality, dense flesh, making it an excellent choice for homemade pies, canning, and other culinary uses.
You can expect these pumpkins to reach maturity in approximately 100 days after planting.
These seeds should be direct-sown into the garden at a depth of 1.25 to 1.5 inches. Ensure the soil temperature is between 70-75°F for optimal germination, which typically occurs within 6 to 10 days.
To ensure healthy growth and proper air circulation, space your plants 36 to 48 inches apart within the row, with 6 to 8 feet between each row.
For the best storage results, harvest your pumpkins once the stem has turned dry and woody. This indicates the fruit has fully matured and is ready for picking.
The seeds are film-coated and treated to provide a more robust start to the growing season, helping to protect the seed and improve germination success in varying soil conditions.
