Pumpkin French Musquée de Provence (Heirloom)
Cucurbita moschata
Days to maturity: 110. This gorgeous, 8 - 20 lb heirloom pumpkin will be a conversation piece among your fall harvest display, with its rich, terra-cotta color, and heavily lobed and ribbed skin. Musquée de Provence is dense and meaty, with few seeds, mildly sweet, and exceptionally flavorful and smooth. This old favorite in France will become your new favorite choice for soups and pies.
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 degrees F for 1 - 2 weeks before eating or storage. Do not allow harvested fruit to get wet.
