Notes
'New England Pie' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'New England Pie') is a vegetable grown for the food garden and as a ground cover. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. Give it full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. This classic pie pumpkin grows at a rapid rate and bears orange blooms from early to late summer. Give the vines plenty of room to sprawl.
Pairs well with Moskvich tomato, Cranberry bean, and Purple Ruffles basil.
