Notes

'Ghost Town' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Ghost Town') is a vegetable for the food garden and as a ground cover. 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 pumpkins are small to medium in size and white, which gives them a spooky look.

Pairs well with Black Beans bean, Lime basil, and Fernleaf dill.
