Notes
'Early Giant' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Early Giant') 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 bears orange blooms from early to late summer. This large jack-o'-lantern type ripens early and resists powdery mildew.
Pairs well with Black Beauty Tomato tomato, Dolce Fresca basil, and Cilantro.
