Description
- The Hallowe’en classic! Bright orange pumpkins weighing up to 10kg, this impressive variety is ideal for carving
- Nothing like the tasteless pumpkins grown for supermarkets, these are delicious and versatile with plenty of flesh
- Stores well, so you can use them all through winter when other crops are scarce
- Easy to grow and care for
- Harvest in late September/October when the stalks have dried out and the skin has changed colour and toughened up. You can tell when they’re ready by tapping them – if they sound hollow, they’re done
- Pumpkins are large sprawling plants – grow them in raised beds or large plots, spacing them out well
