Qld Blue pumpkin (special strain)

Qld blue pumpkin is medium-sized which has the blossom and stem ends flattened. It is deeply ribbed, hard slate grey skin with a yellow-orange flesh.

This variety is favoured for use in scones. Its drier texture lends itself to baking and boiling and stores well for up to 6 months or longer. I generally get two to three pumpkins off a vine a year.

Sow Germinates when soil temp >20C. Sow direct when a week of sunny weather is forecast from Nov on. To help lay black plastic down, cut an X and plant into that.

Spacing 1 metre (provide lots of water)
