Notes
'Marina Di Chioggia' pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima 'Marina Di Chioggia') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. The pumpkin has blistered skin and is grown for pasta-making. It climbs fast, so give the vines room to spread.
Pairs well with Pineapple Tomato tomato, Dolce Fresca basil, Fernleaf dill, and Straight-8 cucumber.
