Growing Info

Harvesting: Harvest pumpkins before the first fall frost, and when foliage has begun to dry out. Cut stem with a knife, leaving 3"–4" of stem on the pumpkin. Do not hold the pumpkin by the stem; if stem attachment gets broken, or any part of the pumpkin bruises, the pumpkin may rot. Brush off any dirt or leaves. Ideally, cure at 80°-85°F and 80–85% humidity or a warm, sunny spot with good air circulation for 1 to 2 weeks before eating or storage. Do not allow harvested fruit to get wet.

    Happy and prolific

    These are abundant producers and a lovely sized squash plant. All of the seeds I planted sprouted beautifully.

    I ordered these items as a gift for my sis in Indiana, so she'll be planting seeds in the Spring. Not sure if she's tried the sprouts yet. But I'm confident she'll love the quality of your products as much as I do. Your seeds have a better germination rate than most brands, and the info on the packets is interesting and helpful.

    I planted two mounds of these in zone 9b in the second week of August and I’ve already harvested my first three pumpkins from one of the plants. They are both doing great and the bees love them! The vines are quite compact (especially compared to the Howden)
