This heirloom cross between a butternut squash and a pie pumpkin yielded an incredible elongated pie pumpkin that can grow to 14-16 inches long and weigh around 8-10 pounds each. The vines will produce 5-7 fruits each. The flavor is deep, sweet, and very string free.
I love a good winter squash. I've grown about 40 varieties in the last 5 years trying to find my favorites. I grew long pie pumpkin in 2024 and taste tested it against 8 other pumpkins and 5 other winter squash varieties all on the same day with my adult daughter and this squash tasted terrible. The plant was healthy and the fruit was fully ripe and cured before we conducted our test and it was almost dead last in flavor.
This was my most productive pumpkin plant last year. The pumpkins have stored well with no issue for months, and they taste great.
Honestly the quality and price point are second to none! One of my favorite seed suppliers!
I can't wait to grow these long pumpkins this year.
This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
This variety was excellent for me for cooking. I needed to pick fewer leaves and chopping was a breeze. The spinich felt more succulent and thicker than the American (smaller spoon shaped leaves). I would use it for cooking and keep the smaller leaved varieties for raw salad eating. My weather was a tricky early on and off again spring and winter pattern, so I think that triggered early bolting, but even still. It was pretty hands off and worth it.
Awesome producer and neat looking fruit! The abundant cucumber beetles seem to ignore the vines too!
Haven’t planted yet. Looking forward to adding to salads! So happy MIgarden had these. Hard to find Microgreen seeds
