Notes
'Queensland Blue' pumpkin (Cucurbita 'Queensland Blue') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows as a vine, so give it room to spread. It blooms from early to late summer and is ready to harvest in about 110 days.
Pairs well with Suyo Long cucumber, Cajun Belle pepper, and Thai basil.
