Spookie Pumpkin
Delightfully sweet and full of flavor, Spookie is a great choice for pumpkin pie. High-yielding vines produce numerous 6-pound uniform pumpkins with a fine textured flesh. A great cross between Sugar Pie and Jack O'Lantern.
After danger of frost has passed, plant Spookie pumpkin seeds in hills. 3-6 seeds per hill. Thin seedlings to 3 plants per hill. They need room to spread out so be sure to provide about 4 feet from any other plants. If possible, water during extended dry periods to encourage better fruit production.
