Organic Long Pie Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo)

This old Native American heirloom yields oblong green fruit with an orange bottom spot at harvest. Store pumpkins until their exterior is fully orange and smooth, stringless flesh is sweet. Can be enjoyed as summer squash earlier in the season. Flavorful, long storing and vigorous.
