Notes
'Mellow Yellow' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Mellow Yellow') is a vegetable for the food garden and for covering ground with its rapid vines. 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. Yellow and green flowers open from early to late summer. The fruit is a unique yellow jack.
Pairs well with Cannellini bean, Dolce Fresca basil, and Moskvich tomato.
