Organic Sugar Pumpkin Seeds (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
Sugar Pumpkins are a small, flattened, globe-shaped variety with a tough skin that is slightly ribbed and bright orange in color. These pumpkins are finely textured with a sweet flesh, which makes them excellent for cooking and processing. We recommend planting these Sugar Pumpkin seeds indoors 3 - 4 weeks before the last spring frost date and then transplant to the garden after all danger of the last frost has passed. You can also plant these seeds directly outdoors in late spring after the last frost danger as past or when the soil temperature is at least 70 degrees. Placing: Full Sun Planting Depth: 1-inch. Spacing: 4-inch. Maturity: 110 Days Plant Type: Annual 10-percent of all seed sales will be donated to the State Farmers Market Association We feel it's very important to support local farms, farmers and their families.

For four generations our family-run seed packing business has provided quality seed to farmers and families. It all started with our Great Grandfather, Cecil Solly, a horticulturalist in the Seattle, Washington area from 1924 until his death in 1965. During his lifetime he was the editor for Northwest Gardens Magazine, had a daily column in The Seattle Times, The Tacoma News Tribune and Western Homes Magazine. He starred in a 30 year running daily radio program called "Garden on the Air" and was Founder and President of the Puget Sound Seed Company. Grandpa Cecil was very active in local gardening communities and clubs - always ready and willing to share his gardening knowledge, making him the Original Master Gardener.
