Lagenaria siceraria You’ll note by the unusual seed that this is not of the pumpkin or squash family and should be eaten when young like a zucchini. And it’s delicious by all the taste tests. Creamy with great texture. Growing conditions are much like the ‘squash’ Tromboccini and again watching these vigorous plants grow is a delight. Highly recommended and rare. -
Cucurbita maxima A rare heirloom this delicious and precious pumpkin has deep orange flesh with pale orange skin which hardens with time. My first awareness that it existed was a gift from ‘Neil’ many years ago, a few seeds in his hand. Weighs up to 7 kg and keeps well.

Cucurbita maxima An old heirloom that has brought back a lot of memories from some of our customers, of mum using the axe to get the first cut. When first picked the skin is quite thin and will thicken as its stores, which it does well. -

Cucurbita pepo This is a remarkable pumpkin? squash? whatever you'd like to call it. Large vine producing round green golden stripey fruit that ripens like most pumpkins, leaving them to mature on vine.

Cucurbita moschata Pear shaped pumpkin with pale orange skin, deep orange flesh and small seed cavity. Up to 3kg it’s an ideal size for family's and cooks up any way perfectly. Really good flavour and known through out the world now by many names. Only a reasonable storer compared to others, meaning it will get through winter but no more. -
Cucurbita moschate An unusual ‘pumpkin’ in that it’s delicious while still young, picked and eaten like a squash or zucchini. Allowed to mature the skin hardens then Tromboccini should be eaten like a pumpkin. Not as sweet as some it still has great flavour and texture. When baked we added herbs and spices which it absorbed beautifully. Great watching the vines spread either on ground where squashes will ‘curl’ or on fence lines where squashes will hang straight.
