Notes
'Abominable' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Abominable') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows at a rapid rate and bears yellow and white blooms from early to late summer. The fruit is a bigger white jack with great color retention.
Pairs well with German Johnson tomato, Dolce Fresca basil, and Cilantro.
