It’s Halloween! The perfect time to share my pumpkin harvest! In April and May I planted most of my sizable collection of saved pumpkin seeds. Here is some of my harvest:
The pumpkins I collected the seed from were so varied in color, shape, and size. And there were so many varieties, I planted seeds collected from 20 different types of pumpkins/gourds which is why I’m surprised they mostly look the same. Plus the giant pumpkins didn’t grow at all, which was a big disappointment. I think the rest of my pumpkin seeds will go to the compost bin and I can order a few new varieties next year. I’ve had my eye on some black pumpkins for a few years so maybe it’s time to actually purchase those seeds. What pumpkin varieties are your favorite?
The ones in the tropics. Good soup.
