Jarrahdale pumpkin seeds
Jarrahdale pumpkins are a classic heirloom with blue-gray skin and are deeply ribbed with a robust pumpkin flavor. This pumpkin is also known for its very long shelf life. We've kept ours for almost 10 months before and it still tasted fresh! Since the thick skin acts as a protective barrier from the air, the oxidation process of the inside flesh is almost nonexistent, similar to canned goods. Keep these cool and they will keep you fed through winter and spring!
The Jarrahdale is from Australia and can grow anywhere from 6-15 pounds. You will need a lot of room since the vines can extend 30-40 feet. The Jarrahdale pumpkin is worth the real estate as they are delicious in pies, gorgeous display pieces, and Jack-O-Lanterns.
