**Planting Instructions:**
- **Soil Preparation:** Choose well-drained, rich soil with plenty of organic matter. Pumpkins thrive in soil with a pH level of 6.0-7.0.
- **Planting Time:** Sow Cushaw Green Striped Pumpkin seeds directly in your garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. You can also start seeds indoors 2-4 weeks before transplanting.
- **Sowing:** Plant seeds 1 inch deep, placing 2-3 seeds in each mound or hill. Space the mounds or hills about 6-8 feet apart to allow room for the vines to spread.
- **Sunlight:** Cushaw Green Striped Pumpkins require full sun, receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Avoid wetting the foliage to prevent fungal diseases.
- **Thinning:** Once the seedlings have established and have a few true leaves, thin them to leave the healthiest plant in each mound or hill.
- **Mulching:** Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
- **Support:** Providing support for the developing fruit can help prevent damage.
**Harvesting:**
Cushaw Green Striped Pumpkins are ready for harvest when their skin turns a deep, rich green color with distinct stripes and the stem begins to dry and crack. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the pumpkins from the vine, leaving a few inches of stem attached.
**Versatile Usage:**
These unique pumpkins are not only visually striking but also delicious. They can be used in a variety of culinary creations, including soups, pies, and roasted dishes. Additionally, they make exceptional decorative items for your autumn displays.
