PUMPKIN JAP / Kent seeds
$4.99
The Jap or Kent Pumpkin is a beloved staple in Australian gardens, known for its delicious, sweet yellow-orange flesh and excellent flavor. This popular variety produces squat fruit, each weighing around 2 kg, with each vine yielding typically 2 to 4 pumpkins. With a days-to-harvest period of about 100 days, the seeds are easy to germinate and the vines are simple to grow. Even in areas with few pollinating insects, manual pollination is straightforward. Best planted in spring or summer, the pumpkins are ready for harvest in autumn or winter, making them perfect for winter soups and roasts. This heirloom pumpkin variety is recognized for its long maturing period and good storage ability, featuring dark green skin mottled with yellow patches. The firm, light orange flesh has an excellent nutty flavor, and the pumpkins are typically medium-sized, around 5 kg. They are well-suited to long, hot summers and are tolerant of poor soil conditions. The combination of these characteristics makes the Jap or Kent Pumpkin a reliable and versatile choice for any garden.
