Pumpkin ‘Speckled Hound’

Cucurbita maxima

Is it a pumpkin? Is it a squash? Does anyone really care? You can expect to harvest around 8 fruits per plant each weighing 3-6 pounds with a grainy, dry, and delectable light orange flesh that makes for a winter treat. The coloring is truly remarkable, featuring pastel orange and greenish dun patterns resembling a cloudy sky.
