The ultimate variety for giant pumpkin contests holding the world record at 1689lb. It requires plenty of space and a warm long summer to reach its full potential, but with care produces exceptional sized pumpkins. Mature in around 125 days from germination. Huge pumpkins grow on large strong vines with large leaves. Golden-orange gourds have rough and tough skins, with a beautiful ribbed finish (contributing to long shelf life) covering the tender, rather tasty orange flesh, and grow and fill at an amazing rate, ripening 130 days after germination. They are easy to grow if there is enough space, sun and moisture. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ Instructions Sow indoors for surest results, April-May, 1.5cm (½") deep, on edge, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 1.2m (4') apart, into fertile, well-drained soil, during May-June when frosts are over. Or sow outdoors, May-June for ease, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, fertile, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Allow 1.2m (4') between positions. Sow two seeds on edge per position. Thin to leave the stronger plant. Water well until plants are established. Harvest: September-November.
