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.

Very prolific!

5 out of 5 stars Oct 13, 2020
I grew honeynut, spaghetti, lakota, jarrahdale, and sugar pie squash this year. Each honeynut produced 4-5 small squash per plant before the plant died off early on in the season. I planted 4-5 of the lakota and only got one fruit total. I planted 3-4 jarrahdale, and got one large pumpkin and one small one. I planted 3-4 spaghetti squash plant, and each plant did produce 1-2 squash before dying. Finally the sugar pie plants each produced several pumpkins and continued on through the season. It was a top performer!

First time growing pumpkins and these did amazing! Planted one mound with 3 seeds and they took over a bit but got 9 pumpkins and the squirrels got 3. They have helped me make the best pumpkin bars for weeks now and the dog gives two paws up as she gets any extra that doesn't make it into a recipe. Definitely will plant again.
