Pumpkin Seed Big Max
LATIN NAME: Cucurbita maxima
COMMON NAME: Big Max Pumpkin
Big Max is the giant, pink-orange pumpkin of the old fairgrounds. The vigorous, trailing vine carries the large, lobed, rough leaves, and the big, yellow, trumpet-like flowers open through the warm season, to be followed by the huge, round, flattened fruits with the fine, smooth, pinkish-orange skin and the thick, deep-orange flesh. The giant fruits have been the pride of the fairs and the autumn shows for a very long time, and the flesh is a fine, generous crop of the kitchen. It is a plant of the deep, rich, well-drained ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
Big Max has carved a quiet but solid place in the plant science, and the vine has been studied for the huge, round, flattened fruits and the fine, smooth, pinkish-orange skin. Researchers have looked at the way the giant pumpkins have been bred and grown for the fairgrounds, and it keeps showing up in the work on the cucurbits, the fruit size and the giant vegetable crops. The large, lobed leaves and the big, yellow flowers have also made it a fine garden vine, and the Big Max is a regular subject of the studies of the pumpkins and the autumn harvests.

To grow the Big Max pumpkin from seed, sow the large, flat seeds about two centimetres deep in pots of moist, free-draining soil, one seed to each pot, keep them in a warm, bright spot and water gently. The seedlings come up within a week or two and grow on fast. Give them the sun, the space and the deep, rich, well-drained ground, and the giant, pinkish-orange fruits will be the talk of the autumn.
