Connecticut Field Pumpkin
Growing Connecticut Field Pumpkin
‘Connecticut Field’ is a historic heirloom pumpkin prized for its large size, classic deep orange color, and traditional pumpkin shape. Globe-shaped fruits are slightly flattened for stability and contain flavorful flesh with a coarser texture than many modern varieties.
Start ‘Connecticut Field’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep, space plants about 48 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs best through a long, warm season.
Ready to harvest in about 120 days, pick pumpkins once they have developed their full deep orange color and mature rind.
Classic, flavorful, and substantial, ‘Connecticut Field’ is excellent for Jack-O’-Lanterns, pies, everyday cooking, and storage.
