Notes
'Shiver' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Shiver') 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 is a little white pumpkin with a great handle. The vines grow at a rapid rate and bloom in white and green from early to late summer.
Pairs well with German Johnson tomato, Dolce Fresca basil, and Fernleaf dill.
