Super Moon Pumpkin is a hybrid, gorgeous white pumpkin that's also great to eat! This variety produces extra-large, blemish-free white pumpkins that average 25-35 lbs, but can get as large as 50 lbs in some instances. An All America Selection, the fruits are a clean white color with tough, hardy stems for superior durability during harvesting. Super Moon Pumpkin has indeterminate vines that grow up to 5' long and are resistant to powdery mildew. In addition to its stunning beauty, this is an excellent pumpkin for making soups and pies.

Pumpkins may be direct seeded or transplanted, although we highly recommend direct seeding. To ensure a good stand, we recommend planting Seeds every 12" along the intended row. Once plants emerge, thin plants to one every 2 feet. Pumpkins can be susceptible to plant diseases like downy mildew and powdery mildew if leaves receive excess moisture. As a result, we recommend using drip irrigation on winter squash to reduce plant moisture and feed plants more effectively. During periods of heavy rainfall, using a fungicide like Liquid Copper can help to alleviate disease pressure as well.

Pumpkins are a crop that will produce a one-time harvest at the end of the growing season. They should be harvested when plants die back and the fruits obtain their full color. Stem hardness is also an indication of fruit maturity. Once stems harden, fruits are ready for harvest using a set of pruning shears. Pumpkins can be stored in a cool, dry place for several months, depending on variety and sugar content. Once fruits are harvested, remove the plants from the garden to prevent any fungal spores from overwintering and becoming a problem in future years. Proper crop rotation is extremely important with all pumpkin varieties to reduce disease and pest pressure.
