Notes
'Gremlins' gourd (Cucurbita pepo 'Gremlins') is a vegetable for the food garden and as a ground cover. 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. It grows at a rapid rate and blooms from early to late summer. The fruit is a large, colorful, warted collection of gourds.
Pairs well with Cannellini bean, Lime basil, and Hungarian Heart Tomato tomato.
