Gros Jaune de Paris
« on: September 26, 2005, 17:26:58 »
Anyone know how to tell when this is ripe/mature? It starts yellow + as far as I know finishes the same colour.

Also, does it store well.

Thanks

Found this on the net

Jaune Gros de Paris
(C. maxima) The beautiful giant pumpkin of historic Paris, the big pinkish-yellow fruit can grow to over 100 lbs. They are round, flattened and have light ribbing. They are good keepers and are still popular in France. Good in pies, soups and baked. A winner for farm markets!
