The Cinderella pumpkin is unique with its exceptionally flattened shape and deep ribs. This fairy tale variety can grow up to 25 lbs. in proper conditions! Flesh is thick and moist. Cinderella pumpkin seeds are a great way to get children interested in the vegetable garden!
Sowing: Since pumpkins do not take well to transplanting, peat pots are the best option. Plant two seeds per pot, later clipping off the weaker seedling. Harden the seedlings by exposing them to the weather for several hours at a time during the week before transplanting, plant the seedlings in very rich soil 8-10' apart in rows 10-12' apart. Another option is to plant the seedlings in hills of two, 8-10' apart. To direct sow, plant the seeds a week after frost 1/2" deep, 3-4' apart and thin to 8-10' apart. For companion planting benefits, plant pumpkins along with corn but avoid planting them with potatoes.
