Fairytale (Musque de Provence) Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima)
The flattened shape, robust ribs, and robust, curled stems give the fairytale pumpkin a wild, old-fashioned aspect. The pumpkins are terra cotta with stippling of green. The dense flesh is ideal for use in pies and other baked items. Reduce the amount of moisture you give these pumpkins before harvesting to avoid watery flesh. Maturity takes 90-110 days.
