Big, mildew-resistant pumpkin variety?
Can anyone recommend seeds for a variety that produces big pumpkins
that is also resistant to powdery mildew? We wanted to plant Big Moon Hybrid this year but Cooper Seeds, the supplier on whose website we'd seen this variety, says they don't have it this year. We're interested in super-big pumpkins for Halloween, but have had a lot of powdery mildew in past years. Our region if if makes any difference (doubtful) is greater Los Angeles, Southern California. Thanks for any input. |

Thanks for any input. We have had good luck with Big Max pumpkins, although it depends upon what you mean by "super-big." The Big Max pumpkins will get up to 100 or 150 pounds (or maybe bigger under the right growing conditions; we live in Wisconsin, so we have a shorter growing season). My husband tried the Atlantic Giants one year (they will grow much bigger than Big Max), but only a few days after he carved one of the Atlantic Giants for Halloween, it fell apart and collapsed in on itself. The Big Max pumpkins hold up very well for a long time, either carved or not carved. LeAnn Share the view from Rural Route 2… http://ruralroute2.com |
