Product description

High Mowing Organic Seeds - Commercial standard for pie pumpkins with long handles and dry, bright orange skin.

Stringless, sugary flesh cooks down to a smooth, superior pie filling. Slightly smaller and more uniform than New England Pie. Great for painting and carving, too!

Characteristics

  • Organic, non-GMO, and open-pollinated 
  • Uniform size 
  • Reliable harvest 
  • 3-4 lb fruit 
  • Vining habit 

Instructions Pumpkins grow best in fertile, well-drained soil, with a pH between 5.8-6.8. Sidedressing is recommended one week after blossoming and again 3 weeks later, especially if there are signs of deficiency. Nitrogen deficiencies cause yellowing, and bronze leaves are a sign of potassium deficiency. Days to maturity are from direct seeding, subtract 2 weeks if transplanting. Seeds can be direct seeded after the danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature has reached 70°F. Start transplants indoors 3-4 weeks before the last risk of frost. The optimal soil temperature for germination is 85-95°F. 

  • Plant 1/2-1" deep 
  • Plant Spacing:  For bush varieties 18”, for vining 24-36”. Tighter plant spacing will result in yields of smaller, but more numerous, fruit. 
  • Row Spacing:  Row spacing: for bush/semi-bush and short vine types 6’, for vigorous vining types use 9-12’ 

    Harvest & Storage Harvest by cutting the stem near the vine or at least 2-3” from the fruit. Too many days of sun on fruits after maturity will bleach handles and cause sunscald on the fruit. A short or broken stem can lead to rot. Cure after harvest by keeping in a warm, dry location for a few days then store at 50-55°F with 55-75% relative humidity and good air circulation.  Delicata and acorn squash do not need curing, but will not store as long as other varieties.
