Gorgeous, big, flat fruits are heavily ribbed and look amazingly similar to a big block of cheese. Fruits average 9 kg and ripen to a rich mahogany brown when fully ripe. Deep orange flesh is fine-grained and great for making soups, pies, tarts, dumplings and gnocchi. Introduced here just before 1900, but grown in France long before that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePumpkins are a hot-weather crop. They need full sun and deep, rich, well-drained, organic soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. Before planting, work in lots of compost. Sow seed directly outdoors, in late May through early June, 2.5 cm deep in hills 2.4 m apart with 4-6 seeds per hill. After germination, thin to 3 plants per hill. Seed can be started indoors three weeks before the plant-out date. Pumpkins do not transplant well. Use paper or fibre pots that can be set directly in the soil. For competition-sized pumpkins, allow only two pumpkins per plant to mature. Protect mature pumpkins from frost and cold temperatures. Germination occurs in 7-10 days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OSC Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43147019681929,"sku":"H89260","price":3.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3576\/1033\/files\/OSCPumpkinFairyTale_16381577-a580-4e5e-a0b1-9a2c4e8e5042.png?v=1768940052","url":"https:\/\/www.scottsnurseryonline.com\/products\/osc-seeds-pumpkin-fairy-tale","provider":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.
