Notes
'Naked Bear' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Naked Bear') is a vegetable for the food garden. 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 bears orange and gold blooms from early to late summer. You can grow it for abundant yields of seeds.
Pairs well with Moskvich tomato, Cranberry bean, and Dolce Fresca basil.
