Pumpkins come in just about every colour reflecting the tints of Autumn. I have attempted to grow pumpkins for a number of years, this being the first year of some success, albeit not the colours I expected! I planted seeds from the Crown Prince and Kabucha varieties – both shades of light and dark green respectively, on the outside.
The first two that I have used had lovely dense textures and tasted delicious. More about the produce to follow. I have added the deep green South African Gem pumpkin bought from the Moseley Farmer’s Market to show size comparison. The South African Gem standard size is around that of a tennis ball.
