Notes

'Big Max' pumpkin (Cucurbita 'Big Max') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. This vine blooms in early to late summer. It is an open-pollinated type and takes 120 days to reach maturity.

Pairs well with Ancho pepper, Lemon cucumber, and Salad burnet.
