115 days. Cucurbita pepo. Open Pollinated. Howden Pumpkin. The plant produces big 15 lb bright orange Halloween pumpkins. These are the original Jack O Lantern pumpkins you see sold at supermarkets and roadside farm stands. Developed by John Howden in the early 1970s. Pumpkins vary in size and shape and have strong handles for making Jack O Lanterns. An excellent choice for home gardens, market growers, and open field production. Always a great seller at Farmer’s Markets. United States Department of Agriculture, NSL 95170. A variety from Canada.

Pumpkin Planting Information:

Choose the sunniest and largest area in your garden. Plant 5 to 7 seeds outdoors in hills. Planting should be in early spring to mid-summer, 3 weeks after the last frost, and when the soil has warmed up to at least 70 F. Plants grow 2 ft tall and vines spread up to 10 ft.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile, slightly acidic soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant. Add well-composted manure.

Water Requirements:

Keep soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water well during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Protect ripening pumpkins from damp ground by placing them on boards. Cut pumpkins carefully from the plants to prevent damaging the vines.
