Notes
'Big Moose' pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima 'Big Moose') 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 rapidly and climbs, and it makes giant pumpkins with bright color. Red and orange flowers open from early to late summer.
Pairs well with German Pink Tomato tomato, Fernleaf dill, and Dolce Fresca basil.
