Growing Info

Harvesting: Harvest pumpkins before the first fall frost, and when foliage has begun to dry out. Cut stem with a knife, leaving 3"–4" of stem on the pumpkin. Do not hold the pumpkin by the stem; if stem attachment gets broken, or any part of the pumpkin bruises, the pumpkin may rot. Brush off any dirt or leaves. 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.

    The first pumpkin I've ever grown. It produces lots of trailing vine and leaves. I live in zone 9. I will definitely grow it again. Can't wait to try a recipe with it.

    I grew these this fall and they grew great! Super pretty when ready to harvest and the first one I harvested was about 16 pounds! They make a great soup too!

    I'm super excited! I just bought these seeds, but I've been yearning to buy them from the moment you began selling them. You put them up on your site the week after I bought all of my seeds this year. I live in the Pacific Northwest, so I'm going to start them inside under grow lights in January, and then transplant them outside in early April. I will post some pics when I harvest them.

    I'm a fairly new gardener. I began gardening in 2020 during Covid when our stores were completely empty. I bought seeds from a few different companies. While I haven't had great success with other brands of seeds, I've had excellent results with everything I've ever planted from Botanical Interests. I have no doubt I'll have similar results with these seeds. As a matter of fact, my husband doesn't want me to buy seeds from any other company anymore because he has seen the value in the germination rate of Botanical Interests' seeds. He now understands why I'm willing to spend more money to buy Botanical Interests' seeds. He has had so much fun growing EVERY, SINGLE TYPE of pepper you sell - you've made a gardener out of him as well. He's even following the directions (on the packets), which I never thought I'd see in my life! Thank you for providing excellent products and even better customer service. We appreciate you more than you know! ❤️

    I spilled a cup of water on this, and it burned in one side and out the other like acid. The next day i picked it up, and without even touching it and caring for it very well, there was about twenty maggots eating away.
