Notes
'Pumpkin on a Stick' winter squash (Cucurbita 'Pumpkin on a Stick') is a vegetable for containers and food gardens. 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. It blooms from early to late summer. Fruit ripens about 70 days after planting, and the open-pollinated seed lets you save seed for next year.
Pairs well with Diva cucumber, Jimmy Nardello pepper, and Garlic.
