Notes
'Harrowsmith Select' gourd (Cucurbita pepo 'Harrowsmith Select') is a vegetable for the food garden and for covering open ground. 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 seeds give a blend of diverse shapes and bold fall colors.
Pairs well with Purple Ruffles basil, Fernleaf dill, and Huckleberry Gold potato.
