This is actually the Atlantic Giant in grey-green. Americans call it the "Giant Squash". The shiny fruits grow lying down and can reach a high weight. We bought the seeds for you, which come from champion winners (250-350 kg). The 2017 world record is held by an American: Joe Jutras with 960.7 kg! It won't be long before the 1000 kg mark is reached...
Pumpkins can be grown outdoors without any problems. The growing tips can be pruned regularly and are edible! Harvesting during dry weather provides the best storability. All pumpkins are edible!
