PUMPKINS!which one to grow
« on: May 03, 2011, 17:44 »
hello everyone,any rain out there yet ...............  :nowink:

Do any of you know which variety of pumpkin I should grow to produce the dark green seeds I buy in packets in the shops? We eat so many,it would be good to grow some ourselves !

I`m growing Pumpkin Jack this year,free on the front of a magazine.

not sure about the green seeds (maybe its in the way they are dried/cooked?) but I grew neon F1 last year and had some lovely halloween sized pumpkins.. they had loads of seeds in too :)

some squashes produce seed without the husks so no need to mess around trying to de-husk them
