Decided we won't grow our normal big Atlantic Giant pumpkins and Turks
Turbans for Halloween decoration this coming season, instead we want to
grow
something to store and eat. Saw a blue/grey coloured, round, pumpkin
shaped,
squash at the RHS Wisley apple weekend which made an excellent soup but
have
forgotten the name. Anyone any idea what it may be and who sells the
seed?
We have looked at all the usual suspects without success.


Blue Hubbard. And no, I haven't made it up ;o)

No wrong shape, as I've just replied to Nick it was more like a large Blue
Kuri.
