Cucurbita pepo
PUMPKIN-STYRIAN HULLESS was developed in Austria’s Styria Province the Styrian pumpkin has no outer hard shell thus, making it edible either fresh or roasted, in a salad or soup, pasta, trail mix or cereal. The flesh is not as edible as the seeds but can be used in pies, soups and casseroles, while the seeds are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, vit A, B, C, E and K and trace minerals. Farm animals love the flesh. An annual pumpkin, bright orange and green weighs about 2.2 to 3.56kg on a vine up to 20 feet long.
Plant in mounds (6 to 8 feet apart) of well mixed compost and soil. Make an indentation in the soil, fill with water, allow to soak in, then plant the seed.
Plant several seeds together as they can be tricky to propagate. Soil temp 21- 35C 2 weeks after the last frost. Cover to protect from mice and birds.
Ph 6 – 7.5

More About Us
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden
