Cucurbita moschata
PUMPKIN-MUSQUEE de PROVENCE is a French variety also known as the Fairytale Pumpkin. It is a very unique eating pumpkin, thick but tender, & the deep orange flesh is very flavored, sweet, thick, and firm. The pumpkins are very dark green when young but progressively change color until they reach a sweet deep orange color on the inside & a beautiful, rich brown on the outside. The plant produces good yields of 7-9kg smooth ribbed pumpkins. The distinctive coach-like shape & warm russet color also makes it perfect to look at when growing.
Sow directly in desired growing position. Prefers good, well-drained soil. Keep moist & well watered once flowers appear & during the growing period.

More About Direct Compost Solutions
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.
