THE nicest tasting pumpkin

Good luck with them scrungee! We are still making soup with ours and lovely it is too. Don't have to freeze them at all, they just keep happily in the front room.

 

We sent a butternut squash away with our daughter to uni, and she came back with it at the end of her first year, we finally ate it around the following Xmas/New Year.

 

Blimey.

 

I'm growing it this year, together with Marina Di Chioggia, Sweet Dumpling, Jack be Little and Summer Ball.

It was one of those varieties that T&M had on offer plus on multi-save, and when automatically issuing £5 off vouchers with every order, getting the cost down to 32p/pkt [1]. Now that's finished I might bag flowers and pollinate to get free seeds.


[1] I've been getting such rubbish quality seeds ftom T&M recently, followed by rubbish germination, that 32p/pkt sounds about the right sort of price.

 

@Annemieke My Marina Di Chioggia plants are looking very vigorous, what sort of area does each one require?

My 3 plants in 90mm dia. pots

 

The same as any trailing pumpkin - so it depends how many you have and how you trail them. Says hubby.
