The Brief and Glorious History of the Pumpkin Squash

When to Plant Seeds

  • Start seeds outdoors after the last frost, when soil temperatures are above 65°F (18°C).
  • In cooler climates, start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting.

Preparing for Planting

  1. Choose a sunny location with space for vines to spread.
  2. Loosen the soil to a depth of 12 inches and remove weeds.
  3. Mix in compost to enhance fertility.

Direct Sowing in Garden

  • Plant seeds 1 inch deep in mounds spaced 3-6 feet apart.
  • Sow 2-3 seeds per mound, thinning to the strongest plant.
  • Water gently and consistently.

Transplanting Seedlings

  • If starting indoors, transplant seedlings when they have 2-3 true leaves.
  • Space plants 3-6 feet apart to prevent overcrowding.

This variety, also known as Turk's turban or French turban, has a rich history dating back to the 19th century when it graced the pages of esteemed French gardening encyclopedias. Its ornamental appeal has endured through the ages, making it a timeless favorite among gardeners and decorators alike.

Pumpkin Squash

Introduced in the 1860s, Turks Turban is an heirloom Winter Squash prized for its ornamental value. Its vibrant red skin, adorned with green stripes, conceals sweet, golden-yellow flesh. Beyond its striking appearance, it excels in baking. With fruits measuring about 9 inches in diameter and weighing 4 to 5 pounds, it sprawls over 6 feet, reaching a mature height of 12 to 24 inches. Ready for harvest in 100 days, this squash promises both visual allure and culinary delight.
