Description
Cucurbita pepo
HEIRLOOM. Saved by the Neely & Carroll families of Wildwood, Georgia for over six generations. Family oral history places the origin of the variety with the Cherokee Indians who were present in the Wildwood area prior to their 1838 removal. This variety of pumpkin is pale orange in color and has bright orange flesh. It is generally round with light ribbing, but there is a good bit of variation: some are flattened cheese wheel shapes and others are taller upright fruits, making them more suitable for Jack-o’-lanterns. Excellent pie pumpkins!

These pictures are May 2024. I purchased in April 2023 and planted immediately. They came back bigger than last year. Don’t panic, they look “weedy” when they first come up, but now they look so nice! I have watered them once this year. Zone 7.

You don’t expect all the seeds to grow but I think most of them should, especially for the price. So I took off a pt for each category. If you had charged less I probably wouldn’t have deducted for both & just gave a 5.

We have planted most of it , few of each variety. So far we saw them germinate in two days. Tomato has been taking longer but it takes 5 to 6 days so it is normal. Bell peppers also had a great success rate . I usually plant them in pellets or the tray with cover , this time I kept them in a room with heater and next to the window. My 6 year old is the one who put the seeds in the soil and has been keeping them moist every day.She is excited since the germination is so good . We live in California so I usually start them indoor when they are ready they will go into raised beds . I am extremely happy and will buy from them next season as well.

I was able to start 2 of the 4 trees in a not so great environment but I also purchased a small grow light and heating pad.

Writing reviews on seeds is difficult because it does take a bit for them to grow and of course I’ve got an impending hurricane coming my way, so planting right now isn’t a geat idea. But this is the cutest packaged seed kit. My son is a gardening enthusiast and he was thrilled with receiving this pack of fall seeds. It comes with many different varieties and a great deal of seeds in each pack. I will come back and update once we get them planted and they start growing.
