Growing Information
Growing Howden Pumpkin
‘Howden’ is a classic carving pumpkin developed specifically to create the ideal Halloween Jack-O’-Lantern. Uniform fruits feature deep reddish-orange skin, strong handles, and the traditional upright carving shape gardeners look for each fall.
Start ‘Howden’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety produces generous yields during a long warm season.
Ready to harvest in about 110 days, pick pumpkins once they reach their mature color and the rind has hardened.
Classic, durable, and productive, ‘Howden’ is excellent for Jack-O’-Lanterns, fall decorating, everyday cooking, and storage.
