PUMPKIN - JARRAHDALE

Cucurbita maxima
Jarrahdale is a distinclty Australian pumpkin that is medium to large in size and will average 3-5kg. It has drum-shaped fruit with heavy, rounded ribs and slate-gray skin. It has medium-sweet, nutty, stringless, thick orange flesh of very good quality. It is one of the best keeping pumpkins if stored in good conditions. It is a most appealing pumpkin for decoration and used for food. Pumpkin seed should be sown 1.0-2.0cm deep directly into the garden in richly composted soil. Space the plants 1m apart in rows 1.5m apart. Sow three weeks after the last frost has passed in Cold and Temperate areas and from September to February in Tropical and Subtropical areas. Pumpkins do very well when a nitrogen fixing plant, such as clover or bean plants are grown with them. pumpkins tahe at least 21 days to fully ripen once picked so storage until fully ripe will enhance pumpkin flavour. If pumpkins are hit by a frost then they will not store as long as unfrosted pumpkins.
