HEIRLOOM.

The Big Max pumpkin variety is famous for its immense size, frequently tipping the scales anywhere from 50 to over 100 pounds. Its shape ranges from round to slightly flattened, and it displays a vivid orange hue. The flesh is notably dense and thick, rendering it perfect for carving, cooking, or baking. With its rich, sweet flavor, it lends itself wonderfully to the creation of pies, soups, and other culinary delights. Favorite among growers looking to produce giant pumpkins for competitions or displays.

GROWING TIPS

Start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Transplant to the garden 2 to 3 weeks after your average last frost. Or, plant seeds directly in the garden 1-2 weeks after average last frost date. Sow 3-5 seeds per hill, thinning to a final 2-3 plants per hill. Pumpkins grow best in a warm site with full sun. Warm soil is essential to good seed germination and emergence. Using transplants can speed production.
