Autumn Prairie Pumpkins

Which pumpkin should I grow?

Five questions to narrow a selection of our pumpkin and squash seeds to your garden.

How long is your warm growing season?

Count from planting in warm soil to your first expected frost. Allow extra time beyond the maturity estimate.

How much room can your vines use?

Fruit size and vine size are different. Check the spacing on each product page before planting.

What matters most at harvest?

Choose the main use you have in mind.

Are squash vine borers a concern?

Resistant varieties can still be damaged. Keep checking stems and leaves during the season.

Do you have a seed-type preference?

Open-pollinated seed can stay true with controlled pollination. Seed saved from F1 hybrids can vary.
