To this cute baby butternut...
Add a mild summer, quite good rain & a large dose of neglect
Result - this feral pumpkin patch!
In the jungle I have 2 Jap pumpkin, 2 Butternut pumpkin & 2 Zuchinni.
Jap or Kent are nutty-flavoured pumpkin with yellowish/orange flesh that is soft and drier than most.
Butternut pumpkin are buff-coloured, pearshaped with dense, dry, sweet-tasting flesh, making it the most versatile type for cooking.
My first Butternut ever, weighing in at 1.7kg
First cob of corn for 2010.
I'm jealous! Our pumpkins and courgettes were a disaster this year! :(
ReplyDeleteSue - I'm more than happy to send you over a few....dozen that is!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't got enough room to let pumpkins roam...maybe golden nugget (keep forgetting those). Your garden is doing well.
