Notes
'The Boss' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'The Boss') is a vegetable for the food garden and for use 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. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows at a rapid rate and blooms from early to late summer. Give the vines plenty of room to sprawl.
Pairs well with Green bean, Holy basil, and Watermelon.
