Fairytale Pumpkin (Musquee de Provence)
Fairytale Pumpkin is an enchanting French heirloom pumpkin with beautiful flat scallop-shape and deep-set ridges, resembling pumpkins in fables and folklore. Its captivating "musky" rind ranges from buckskin to orange-brown in color and adds a rustic charm to any Autumn centerpiece or Fall decoration. Use these handsome 15-40-pound, 6-inch-deep, 15-inch-wide pumpkins for display then later for roasting, pureeing, or baking into pies as their fine-grained flesh are uniquely sweet and silky smooth. An excellent source of vitamin A, fiber, and antioxidants. Squash is one of the plants grown in the traditional Native American vegetable growing technique called the Three Sisters. The other two plants in the Three Sisters are beans and corn. Each plant had its role in this companion planting tradition. Corn served as a structure for the vining beans to grow up. Squash served as a ground cover to prevent weeds from growing. Beans provided natural fertilizer for all. Also Known As: Cinderell
