KING OF MAMMOTH

Family: PUMPKIN
Packet Content(approx.): 10
As its name suggests these heirloom pumpkins are very large. They often grow to between 40-100lbs although prize specimens have topped 200lb. Excellent in pies due to great yield. Skin is yellow with mottled patches of pink-orange.
Sowing advice: Grow in very rich soil, amended with manure, compost, or other rich source of plant nutrients. Plant in rows, 5-8 feet in both directions, sowing one seed every 6-12 inches. Or plant in hills, 5 seeds per hill, with the hills 6-8 feet apart, thinning to best three plants. Full sun, ample moisture and insect control as necessary should allow good production from the vigorous plants. Harvest in autumn when skins are too tough to be easily punctured with a thumbnail.
