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.

If you were in Australia, I'd recommend Queensland Blue or Ironbark.
(The Ironbark is well named - to cut it, an axe is probably the best
implement)

Well two of you have recommended QB so it must be OK. However it is not the
one I'm thinking about that was more like a large Blue Kuri. I'll have to
have a word with my friend that works at Wisley and see if he can ask the
veg man.
