Pumpkin ~ Howden

A classic heirloom introduced in the mid-20th century, Howden is prized for its uniform shape, sturdy handles, and vibrant orange color—making it a favorite for carving. Large, round fruits feature smooth to lightly ribbed skin and thick, durable walls that hold up well for autumn displays. The flesh is moderately sweet and suitable for pies, roasting, and general kitchen use. Vigorous vines are productive and perform reliably in Canadian gardens with a full, warm growing season. A dependable choice for both festive harvest décor and practical use. Jack-O’-Lantern Pumpkin. 100 days
