Not your average pumpkin!
by Nikki
These pumpkins have presence! Visually beautiful. Very easy to grow from seed. Encouragingly productive. Each pumpkin is large enough to make a statement as Fall decor, with texture and color that acts as the perfect foil to all the brighter oranges and golds of the season.
But their real value far outlasts holiday season and they truly shine as a food crop. They store perfectly all year long, no complicated requirements necessary, and their flesh is tender and surprisingly sweet. They taste almost like a melon! So they can become almost anything when it comes to cooking them. Chargrill with spices and lemon or lime for a side dish with zing. Go warm and subtle with garlic, marjoram and rosemary. Use as a sweet base for deserts with dark maple syrup. Their versatility is unending. Absolutely worth the space in my garden!
