Here is the Cotton Candy Pumpkin, Cucurbita pepo. It is a medium sized white pumpkins an has a ghostly white skin an a white sometimes light orange flesh as well! They can range from a bright white to a light pink color in late season. When carving them with a white flesh inside looks really spooky and amazing with light up with a candle. They are edible but not the best for making pie tho white pumpkin pie is really an eye catcher! They can get to 15 Lbs and weigh as much as 20 Lbs. plants or vines get to 18 feet long and make about 6 pumpkins per vine. We mostly use them for display on Halloween and roasting seeds. Sow seeds directly in your garden. Open pollinated 90 to 100 days.

    PUMPKIN SOWING AND PLANTING TIPS

    • Grow pumpkins from seeds or seedlings.
    • Seed is viable for 6 years.
    • Direct sow pumpkins in the garden in spring after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to 70°F (21°C). In warm-winter regions, sow pumpkin in midwinter for harvest in early summer.
    • To start pumpkins indoors before the last frost in spring, sow seed in peat pots 4 to 3 weeks before planting out. The indoor temperature should be 66°F to 85°F (18-29°C) until germination.
    • Pumpkin seeds will not germinate at a soil temperature below 66°F (18°C).
    • Sow seed ½ to 1 inch (1.3-2.5 cm) deep.
    • Seeds germinate in 4 to 10 days at 85°F (29°C) or warmer.
    • Space plants in the garden 12 to 18 inches (30-45 cm) apart in all directions.
    • Pumpkins will benefit from the warm soil created by planting on hills or mounds; raise the soil 12 inches (30 cm) tall and 20 inches (50 cm) wide and grow individual plants on hills. Space hills 4 to 5 feet (1.2-1.5 m) apart.
    • Water to keep the soil from drying.
    • Fertilize with fish emulsion or a soluble complete fertilizer at half strength.
    • Add aged compost to planting beds in advance of transplanting.
    • Pumpkins prefer a soil pH range of 5.5 to 6.8.
    • Grow pumpkins in full sun for best yield.
    • Avoid planting pumpkins where cucumbers or melons have grown recently.
    • Common pest enemies include aphids, cucumber beetles, flea beetles, squash bugs, squash vine borers, slugs, and snails.
    • Common diseases include bacterial wilt, fusarium wilt, downy mildew, powdery mildew, cucumber mosaic.
