Pumpkin Lumina
Cucurbita maxima

Days to maturity: 90. Just the porch lights from other houses make Lumina glow! Lumina is wonderful for painting (very smooth skin), carving and baking - the flavor and texture are excellent! Pumpkins are 8" - 10" in diameter and weigh 10 - 12 pounds each. Very fun for kids to grow.

This packet plants 3 - 4 mounds.

Days to Emerge: 5 - 10

Seed Depth: 1"

Seed Spacing: 2 seeds per mound

Mound Spacing: 4' - 6'

Thinning: Not necessary

When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 2 to 4 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperatures have risen above 60° F.

When to start inside: Not recommended except in very short growing seasons, 3 to 4 weeks before average last frost. Sow in pulp pots that can be planted directly in the ground. Transplant when plants have 2 sets of true leaves.

Harvesting: Harvest pumpkins before the first fall frost, and when foliage has begun to dry out. Cut stem with a knife, leaving 3" - 4" of stem on the pumpkin. Do not hold the pumpkin by the stem; if stem attachment gets broken, or any part of the pumpkin bruises, the pumpkin will rot. Brush off any dirt or leaves. Cure in a sunny window or porch at 75 - 80° F for 1-2 weeks before eating or storage. Do not allow harvested fruit to get wet.
