Additional Information
Open pollinated-untreated seeds. Sow 3 seeds directly in garden soil per hill with 61-91 cm (2-3’) spacing. These large vines require at least 3 feet of growing area, and can be trained. Only requires moderate watering, do not over water. Pumpkins require pollination, so be sure to plant a few flowers in your vegetable garden to attract pollinators. Cinderella Pumpkin matures in about 100 days from direct sowing. Pick pumpkins when rind - skin just loses it glossy sheen. Store the pumpkins and squash at about 10°C (50°F). Pumpkins, when handled and stored properly can be kept for a long time. When your pumpkins begin to change their color to orange, gradually decrease the amount of water. Your pumpkins will store longer if you cut off water 7 - 10 days before you harvest. |
