Pumpkin French Cinderella (Heirloom)
Cucurbita maxima
Days to maturity: 110. Also known as Rouge Vif e’Etampes, this French heirloom is a very striking pumpkin - deeply ridged and large sized: 1 to 2 feet across and weighing 15 - 20 pounds. It's a terrific decoration whether carved or not, and also a delicious vegetable. The inspiration for the carriage in the charming fairy tale, your kids will be delighted to grow Cinderella’s coach.
This packet plants 4 mounds.
Days to Emerge: 5 - 10
Seed Depth: 1"
Seed Spacing: 3 seeds per mound
Mound Spacing: 4' - 6'
Thinning: When several leaves thin to 2 per mound
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 2 to 4 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperature has 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.
