Plant Guide: Pumpkins

Whether for salad, soup or Halloween lanterns, pumpkins are deliciously versatile.

GOLDEN NUGGET variety. This pumpkin is probably the best bet for a small yard or balcony garden: unlike its cousins, it is small fruiting and compact, making it perfect for a large tub. Particularly delicious when roasted, these pumpkins are also great for stuffing.

JAP variety. Short for Japanese pumpkin, it also goes by 'Kent'. This delicious member of the pumpkin family has been described as the 'foodie's pumpkin' and for good reason: it has wonderful flavour and is very versatile. It has ribbed, grey-green mottled skin and is best suited to grow in warm or tropical climes.

QUEENSLAND BLUE variety. Flying the flag for Australia, the Queensland Blue pumpkin is home-bred-and-born but popular throughout the world. Besides its characteristic blue-grey and deeply ribbed skin, it's perhaps best known for its amazing keeping time - 100 to 140 days. taste.com.au recommends its pureed flesh for pumpkin scones.
