- Autumn Gold (90 days) - these early maturing plants have 7 to 10 pound pumkins with 3 to 5 pumkins per vine. They color up early so that even an early frost will still leave you with a ripened pumpkin
- Atlantic Giant (120 days) - seed from the line that produces some of the largest pumpkins on record. If you want to try to break a record you need to plant in rich fertile soil, feed with fertilzer, and make sure the plant never suffers from lack of water.
All the members of the cucurbit family are very cold sensitive and should not be planted until all danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature is high enough to ensure rapid root development.
Do not transplant deeper than the soil level in the transplanted container.
If planting in the garden make a small mound of soil and then plant onto the top of the mound. This helps to ensure that transplant does get overwatered.
Protect the small plant from winds by providing a temporary windbreak of wood or other suitable material so that the tender stems do not get whipped back and forth and break off at the base.
