How big do Connecticut Field pumpkins get?
This classic variety produces large, round, deep orange pumpkins with the traditional ribbed shape, ideal for carving.
When and how do I plant pumpkin seeds?
Sow directly after your last frost, once the soil is warm, about an inch deep in full sun. They germinate in about 7 to 10 days.
How much space do pumpkins need?
A lot. Give the sprawling vines several feet between plants, growing them in hills or rows with plenty of room to ramble.
How long until pumpkins are ready?
Usually around 100 to 120 days. Harvest when they are fully colored and the rind resists a fingernail, leaving a few inches of stem.
How do I store pumpkins?
Cure them in the sun for a week or two after harvest to harden the skin, then keep them in a cool, dry place, where they can last for months.
Can I eat Connecticut Field pumpkins?
Yes. While famous for carving, the sweet flesh is good roasted and pureed for pies, soups, and breads, and the seeds toast up nicely.
