Growing Musquee de Provence Pumpkin
‘Musquee de Provence,’ also known as 'Fairy Tale,' is a French heirloom prized for its burnished golden-brown rind and exceptional eating quality. Deeply ribbed, slightly flattened fruits resemble wheels of cheese and contain thick, fine-grained orange flesh.
Sow ‘Musquee de Provence’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep and space plants 24 to 36 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs especially well throughout warm summer conditions.
Ready to harvest in about 98 days, pick fruits once their characteristic golden-brown color and firm rind are fully developed.
Rich, smooth, and flavorful, ‘Musquee de Provence’ is excellent for roasting, pies, soups, baking, everyday cooking, and storage.
