Description:
Unique white pumpkin produces good yields of 9 to 12 inch pumpkins weighing 10 to 16 lbs. Smooth skin allows kids to draw or paint for Halloween. Thick flesh is excellent for baking or pies.
SOWING:
Plant seed in a sunny location outdoors in late spring when the ground is warm and all danger of frost is past. Make a group of 3 to 5 seeds spaced in a ring about 2 to 3 inches across; cover with 1/2 inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Each ring of seeds is called a "hill", and hills should be spaced 4 to 6 feet apart.
THINNING:
Thin when plants are 3 to 4 inches tall, leaving 3 or 4 plants per hill.
GERMINATION:
Germinates in 10 to 14 days depending on soil temperature and weather conditions.
REMARKS:
Protect plants from insects and water as needed. Allow the fruits to ripen on the vine until fully matured. Gather before frost by cutting stem with pruning shears, leaving 3 inches attached to the fruit.
