Grow Heirloom Pumpkins - Plant Mammoth Gold Pumpkin Seeds

Though it's a wonderful pumpkin, the name "Mammoth Gold" is a bit of a misnomer - it's huge to be sure, but it's more orange than gold. Regardless, Mammoth Gold seeds are great producers of giant pumpkins that can routinely reach weights of up to 60 pounds or more. Grown in gardens since the late 1800s, this one is a keeper!
