Pumpkins are a great vegetable to grow, as most store readily for months on end!
This is the case with Jack O Lantern, not only that, it has a great flavour and is also a good carving variety, making it perfect for carving out decorations for Halloween and such like.
Very versatile, pumpkin can be eaten as a vegetable, baked in muffins and scones or turned into delicious pumpkin pie!
