grow cinderella pumpkins

i mean my garden produce needs to put on a show and dance

but pumpkins are different. my first year gardening i planted the cinderella pumpkins

why i only grow princess pumpkins

rouge vif d'etampe are heirloom pumpkins that have a striking deep red-orange color and look like a giant wheel of cheese. they were very popular in markets during the 1880s

but if you want to plant them

cinderella pumpkins - all the reasons they belong in your garden

cinderella pumpkins need a day growing season

that first snow

so if you're like me and you want to carve pumpkins

the plants are also disease resistant to powdery mildew

i stopped planting other pumpkins; it just wasn't worth the hassle

cinderella pumpkin yields

last year i planted four seeds and wound up

regardless of size was perfectly round

i've planted other pumpkins and have never had the production and quality that i get from my cinderella pumpkins

why cinderella pumpkins belong in your kitchen

from one single twenty pumpkin you can expect to process 20 cups of puree. that's a lot of pumpkins

the roasted cinderella pumpkin is not as watery as most and does not require a long draining time

measure your pumpkin before you freeze it

oh and don't forget to roast those seeds too

you do not need to bake and freeze all your pumpkin at once. if you have somewhere to store your pumpkins

how to grow a bumper crop of cinderella pumpkins

seed start early

cinderella pumpkins take days to harvest. i give myself a bit of leeway by seed starting indoors three weeks before the last frost of my season

plant in pots

heating the beds also allows any weed seeds that are laying dormant to grow

plant nasturtium seeds

space requirements and what i do in my garden

i have a foot inground raised bed garden. our pumpkin patch is a 6×6 plot at the very back. i let the vines trail into the yard

so long as you have room to let them wander

hand pollinating pumpkins

i have lots of bees in my garden

if you find your first set of baby pumpkins fall off the vine

water and more water

water

pumpkin roots go deep as they search

treat like this once a week and your garden bed will reward you

i put of wood and upside down plates under the pumpkins

the of wood under the pumpkins also allow the rain and wet to roll off the pumpkin and onto the ground under the wood instead of under the pumpkin

rouge vif d'etampe

if i could grow a field of them

common name - it doesn't matter to me - in the end

growing season - harvest - storage

disease resistance

i seem to struggle

it's like that every year; they set

preparation

you find an tutorial

storage

lighting is a must

harden off

if you have a more extended season

prepare your bed in advance

if you don't believe me

i set out soaker drip hoses and let them go

don't forget weekly fertilizer

as i said earlier

i used a all round fertilizer like pro-mix granular. i sprinkle it around the base of the plant

keep them off the wet ground to avoid blemishes

watch em grow

then
