Pumpkin Orange Smoothie F1
Children will be infatuated with Orange Smoothie pumpkins. The dark orange, smooth skin is ideal for painting Halloween faces. The size is desirable for young hands, weighing 5 to 8 pounds with a strong, long handle. Orange Smoothie pumpkins will mature early, in about 90 days from sowing seed. Another benefit is the semi-determinate habit requiring less space in the garden. Easy-to-grow from seed or started plants, Orange Smoothie is an all-around great pumpkin for carving, painting, decorating and even the meat is sweet for homemade pumpkin pie.
