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. -- Regards Bob H 17mls W. of London.UK |

(The Ironbark is well named - to cut it, an axe is probably the best implement) |

Thanks but no, it was more like a large Blue Kuri. -- Regards Bob H 17mls W. of London.UK |

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. -- Regards Bob H 17mls W. of London.UK |

Sorry, I've only now realised on rereadin what you wrote that you didn't want a recommendation. Dumb and sloppy of me! I had a quick look at my Martin and Rix and there is a blue there called "Crown Prince" which is more on the round side than the Qld Blue but also less blue. If you know what I mean. |

I've googled, but can't find any pics though, sorry. -- Tips for Evil Cult Members: 117. Never play strip Tarot. http://www.sff.net/paradise/overlord.html |
