I planted out twelve pumpkin plants this year to grow up my hedge. Half were Crown Prince and half were Black Futsu. I got a lot of foliage and flowers but only three pumpkins made it to maturity. They made lovely soup. (note to self - must try harder next year)
- the pumpkins climbed over the hedge
- just three made it
- roasting in the oven makes it easier to scoop the flesh rather than peel
- I added grated ginger, garlic and curry powder to spice it up
