It was the explorer Christopher Columbus who introduced Europe to these ‘vegetable giants’ from Central-, and South America. In fact, pumpkins like other squash are thought to belong to the most ancient foods known to mankind and they also never fail to impress us each autumn with their vibrant colours, large sizes and unusual, sometimes even bizarre shapes.
Halloween celebrations are based on an old Irish legend and it has therefore become the custom to carve spooky motives into pumpkins and to turn them into lanterns to keep ghosts and dark spirits from your house on 31st October each year.
For this seed kit we hand selected 3 pumpkin varieties ideal for carving Halloween lanterns:

Pumpkin 'Gele Centenaar' (Cucurbita maxima)
'Gele Centenaar' is an old orange-yellow Dutch variety, which produces large, slightly flat-rounded crops, which can reach up to 50cm in diameter.
’Golden Hubbard’ Squash (Cucurbita maxima)
’Golden Hubbard’ is a typical, bright orange pumpkin variety from the US and its knotty/wrinkly skin texture offers just the right canvas, for a perfectly spooky looking pumpkin lantern.
Hokkaido Squash 'Red Kuri' (Cucurbita maxima)
’Red Kuri’ is one of the most suitable pumpkin/ squash varieties to prepare a delicious pumpkin soup. Despite their firm skin, these pumpkins need not be peeled and have a lovely nutty aroma.

The seeds of each variety are packaged in a separate sachet.

The seed sachets and detailed growing instructions in German and English are packed in a beautiful gift box - a great, sustainable gift for the garden. Any plant lover will be pleased.
