The plant itself is very attractive, well-branched and upright, reaching 3 to 4 feet high and 2 to 3 feet wide. It boasts handsome, very large foliage that protects the clusters of 2- to 5-inch fruits from sunscald. After the insignificant blooms pass in mid- to late summer, the fruit appears. At first it's pale green and nubby. But it quickly achieves its pumpkin-y shape, then turns rich, deep scarlet. This persists into autumn, when the first chilly weather begins to turn the scarlet to orange. Within a week or two, you have it -- pumpkins on a stick!
You will want to stake this plant as the fruit grows -- it's really quite heavy, but the stems are woody and very strong. Throughout the growing season, give it plenty of food and water, and make sure you find a site in enriched, well-drained soil for best growth. A single plant will yield dozens of pumpkins-on-a-stick!
The seed is easy to grow. It can be direct-sown when the weather warms up in spring, but for best results, begin it indoors about 6 weeks before last scheduled frost. Your Bio-Dome is the perfect seed-starting system for Pumpkin on a Stick, because it gives you better control over the temperature and humidity level. For germination, a warm temperature (70 to 85 degrees F) is best.
The seed will germ within about 2 weeks, and can be transplanted when it has at least two sets of true leaves and nighttime temperatures are consistently above about 55 degrees. Space the plants about 3 feet apart, to leave plenty of room for the dangling fruit!
