Jack O Lantern Pumpkin

The Melon HoneyDew Sweet Delight, 'Cucumis melo-Inodorous Group (Hybrid)', has a really wonderful flavor that is sweet and juicy. One of the reasons HoneyDew has not been super popular in this country is the cardboard-like taste you get from the grocery store HoneyDew melons. This vine ripened HoneyDew has an unbelievable sweet, almost winelike flavor. Fertilize lightly every six weeks after initial sowing. Plant in the spring, 1 to 2 weeks before the last frost or when soil temperatures begin to warm up.

The Pumpkin Jack O'Lantern, 'Cucurbita pepo', is bred to be the "size of a human head", so go ahead and carve a scary face. The Jack O'Lantern is not just a great pumpkin for carving. The wonderfully flavored flesh is great for making soups, muffins, casseroles, pies, and many other nutritious dishes. They will store for month. Pumpkins prefer rich well drained soil that is high in organic matter. The soil should be kept evenly moist. Harvest before the first light frost or when the pumpkin foliage begins to dry out.

The Squash Summer Scallop Blend, 'Cucurbita pepo (Hybrid)', has a slightly spicier, nuttier flavor than other summer squashes. We have chosen not just any blend of different colored patttypan squash, we have chosen the best. The Scallop Blend includes, 'Peter Pan', an All America winner with incredible yields and adaptability, 'Sunburst', another All America winner that tastes as if it was soaked in butter, and 'Early White', and Heirloom from the early 1700's. Harvest as soon as squash reaches 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
