Notes
'Grizzly Bear' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Grizzly Bear') 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 from early to late summer. The fruit has tan skin and heavy warting.
Pairs well with Pineapple Tomato tomato, Smoothie cucumber, Dolce Fresca basil, and Fernleaf dill.
