Ratings & Reviews
Pumpkin- Golden Nugget
Grew in summer 2021, which was wet and hot. The plant didn’t seem to suffer too poorly from mildew, even into March when I pulled the vine out. One vine/plant gave me 8 fruit which were tasty but not a sweet pumpkin taste. Was a good size for a meal for 2 people roasted and stuffed. Have stored well and still have 1 left and it is now 4 months since picking.
