A wonderful mix of 10 different edible pumpkin and squash varieties mixed together in the box consisting of summer and Autumn pumpkins
The pumpkin varieties include:
Marina of Chioggia ( The oldest variety in Italy).
Padana (orange and grey from NW Italy)
Lunga of Naples( Huge Pear shaped fruits)
Berrettina Piacentina (Priest Hat or the Berret of Placenza).
Quintale ( Tonne, can get very large)
The Squashes include:
Butternut Rugosa (Delicious orange flesh).
Tromba d'Albenga (Dramtic curved meaty).
Sicilian Snakes (Can grow to 2 metres!).
Custard White ( UFO shaped fruit).
Vegetable Spaghetti ( as it says Spaghetti like flesh).
You will need space for these but it is fun to grow them through a border which have less flowers in during the Autumn. Or trail the summer squash over arches and arbours.
