Flat White Boer Pumpkins
Well, hello, I know this is a very specific topic today, but I have found myself fascinated with the one pumpkin plant that's actually doing or done something in my garden. That is, the flat white boer. Originating from South Africa, this is a bit more of a 'rare' pumpkin, or so I've read. Either way, pumpkins are a touch backwards at my place this year, deciding to, only recently, start fruiting. This isn't ideal as they usually need about 4 warm or frost-free months to mature. Hopefully the area they're in will be warm enough until they're ready. It wasn't a great year in general for pumpkins, with only one plant getting this far. Although some random pumpkins are only now popping up in peculiar areas of the garden. My sister, who lives only a few streets away, has had a very similar experience with her pumpkin patch, which, like mine, are only now developing fruits. But I digress. The flat white boer isn't a pumpkin I've grown befo...
