Organic Lady Godiva Pumpkin Seeds. Non-GMO, annual, heirloom, open-pollinated, organic. A true naked-seeded pumpkin, Organic Lady Godiva produces seeds without the tough outer hull found in standard pumpkin varieties, so there's no cracking or shelling required before roasting. Smallish, smooth-skinned fruits ripen to a yellow-orange rind streaked with green, and each pumpkin yields an impressive quantity of nutty, protein-rich seeds. While the stringy flesh isn't prized for cooking, this variety is a favorite for home seed roasting, snacking, and rustic fall décor. ~219 seeds\/oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trueleafmarket.com\/pages\/the-vegetable-growing-guide-from-true-leaf-market\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownload Free Vegetable Growing Guide PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--attr--\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eCucurbita pepo\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual in zones 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Germination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeeding Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect Sow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStart Indoors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, 3-4 weeks before transplanting outdoors, if a longer season is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24-36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRow Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-12 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vines spread 8 to 12 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, well-draining soil, pH 5.8 to 6.8.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warmer, 65-95 F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70-95 F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePests and Diseases:\u003c\/strong\u003e Susceptible to squash bugs, vine borers, cucumber beetles, and powdery mildew.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePumpkin Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rind striped orange and green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePumpkin Flavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nutty, mild-flavored seeds; flesh is stringy and not preferred for cooking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGarden Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Garden Plot, Fields\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClimate Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!--endattr--\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Organic Lady Godiva Pumpkin in the Vegetable Garden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect-sow Organic Lady Godiva seeds 1 inch deep after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 70 F.
