{"product_id":"musquee-de-maroc-pumpkin-seeds","title":"Musquee de Maroc Pumpkin Seeds","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eEvery autumn, one pumpkin in the patch gets asked about first. Musquee de Maroc is that pumpkin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis North African heirloom belongs to \u003cem\u003eCucurbita moschata\u003c\/em\u003e, the same tough, vine borer resistant species as our Seminole and Musquee de Provence. That matters in a Kansas garden. While \u003cem\u003eC. pepo\u003c\/em\u003e varieties get shredded by squash vine borers mid-summer, moschata's solid stems keep the vines going through heat, humidity, and prairie wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruits are round to bell-shaped, typically 7 to 13 pounds, in shifting shades of terracotta, green, yellow, and buff. When summer heat arrives, the skin covers itself in ornamental warts, and no two fruits look alike. It is one of the most striking display pumpkins you can grow, and then it earns its keep in the kitchen: firm, sweet flesh with a nutty flavor that roasts well, purees smoothly, and holds together in soups and stews. Cured fruit stores up to 6 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan for roughly 90 to 110 days from planting. Give it room, because moschata vines are vigorous. A cattle panel tunnel or a generous patch of ground will serve it well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: \u003cem\u003eCucurbita moschata\u003c\/em\u003e (vine borer resistant)\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Open-pollinated heirloom from Morocco\u003cbr\u003e\nDays to Maturity: ~90 to 110\u003cbr\u003e\nFruit Weight: 7 to 13 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\nSkin: Terracotta, green, yellow, and buff with heavy warting\u003cbr\u003e\nFlesh: Sweet, firm, nutty\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage: Up to 6 months, cured\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/growing-guides\/musquee-de-maroc-growing-the-warted-moroccan-heirloom-pumpkin-in-kansas\"\u003eRead the full Musquee de Maroc Growing Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOpen-pollinated: saved seeds grow true when kept from crossing with other moschata varieties.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacked in Newton, Kansas.
