Picture of our Jap Pumpkins I harvested yesterday - they needed to be picked for storage as the possums were getting into them. According to one of my elderly patients, they are named Jap pumpkin because in some horticultural show a throw away line occurred - What sort of pumpkin is that? - It's a Jap (= just another pumpkin) stuck even though they are strictly a Kent. I haven't checked that story out.

They don't keep well but they will go into the root cellar in a few days after drying out a bit more. We have three Queensland Blue pumpkins already stored away.









Also picture of a shallot harvested from one of the growbeds, they grow really well in that medium. It is about 1m long.
