Robert sent some pictures of my favorite Florida pumpkins:
The Seminole Pumpkin is so special it gets its own chair.
This is one of the larger-fruited varieties.
Robert told me he “got seeds from a lady in Ormond.”
So who knows the pedigree? Land race pumpkins are wonderful. There are a lot of varieties floating around. You can see my ongoing chronicle of types on this page I dedicated to Seminole Pumpkins.
If you have pictures you’d like to submit, send them my way.

One response to “Seminole Pumpkins in Ormond Beach”
I’m going to try growing Seminole pumpkins this year; they sound great. I got seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.
I’m concentrating on things that grow well with few pest/disease problems, etc. Waltham Butternut Squash is a tried and true that I always grow (as do lots of people, of course).
