Hi galina - you say grew well here... where is here??
Hi Galina, I should have said I had the Ford one, the Niekerk one apparently has a problem with damp ground, there is also a third one the Durban bit it was a bit too big.I was interested in the ease of growing.. which one did you grow and did it have any problems with damp.It's usually uses are like most large pumpkin, soups etc but I wanted to know how sweet compared to any of our commonly grown ones.I don't grow squash usually that are soup types but got a bit interested in this one.I know it has a very long season but did you have any difficulty maturing it.I was surprised to hear it turned pinky,XX Jeannine
Where did you get your seeds from Galina?
Boer Pampoen just means farmers pumpkin.Just standard everyday eating pumpkin from South Africa - I always use it as a side veg, or fried into fritters (yum yum yum with brown sugar).Really easy to cook and delicious to eat. Hope they grow for you.
