Pumpkin Hijinks F1
2011 AAS Edible - Vegetable Winner
Pumpkin Hijinks F1

Hijinks, defined as lively enjoyment and unrestrained fun is an apt name for this AAS pumpkin winner that offers loads of seasonal fun for kids. This winning pumpkin variety produces small-sized, 7 to 9-pound fruits, of a very uniform size and shape. Smooth deep orange skin with distinctive grooves gives a very classy appearance to fall decorations and is ideal for painting or carving. The strong durable stem makes a great handle. Gardeners can expect high yields, notable resistance to powdery mildew, easy fruit removal from plants and excellent stem attachment. Allow plenty of space in the garden for long vines that spread up to 15 feet. Early to mature, this Cucurbita pepo is ready for harvest in about 100 days from sowing or 85 days from transplant.
