Topic: West Indian Pumpkins

[djbrenton]

Well I've finally managed to use one of each colour so have seeds if anyone wants to try them. They seem to cross pollinate so freely that it's pointless me sending them out as individual colours, as I've no idea what they're going to come out as. Last year I had dark green, light green, orange, pale orange, yellow, mid green and almost white all from 6 plants.

PM me your address ( unless I've already got it ).

Just for interest ... my local market has a West Indian stall (with 5 types of sweet potato and 8 varieties of yam! :o). The 'pumpkins' they sell are one of the Australian Blue group (look very like Crown Prince squash, but imported from Oz), at £4 approx. for one huge pumpkin.

Thanks for the seeds, they arrived this morning.  Looking forward to planting them :-)

I'm told they germinate better if you soak them and remove any that float.
