Notes
'Expert' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Expert') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows at a rapid rate and blooms in orange and green from early to late summer. The fruit belongs to the Howden class.
Pairs well with Brad's Atomic Grape Tomato tomato, Dolce Fresca basil, and Cilantro.
