Notes
'Racer' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Racer') is a vegetable for the food garden. 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 grows at a rapid rate and has green blooms from early to late summer. This extra-early workhorse variety gives you a head start on the season.
Pairs well with Carbon tomato, Lime basil, and Common Chamomile German chamomile.
