Harvesting and Storing White Pumpkins​

Drain the water thoroughly and spread the wet seeds evenly on a large cookie sheet. You do not need to rinse, but you can if you wish to remove the salt.

Beginning in the 00’s, white pumpkins for décor became increasingly popular. Moving from a niche novelty, to relatively commonplace. Pumpkins enjoy plenty of nitrogen so they appreciate a feed of general fertiliser a few weeks after planting. They will begin to produce long stems which can be trained in a circle around the plant to prevent them spreading too far. They have deep roots and are normally quite capable of finding their own water within the soil, but in very dry periods some supplementary watering may be required.Valenciano, Silver Moon, Hooligan, and Polar Bear are some other types of white pumpkins that are good to eat. Make a hole about 30cm (1ft) wide and deep, then fill with a mix of soil and home-made compost or well-rotted manure. Add a general purpose fertiliser, such as Vitax Q4, scattering two handfuls per square metre/yard. Fish out the seeds using your hands, a slotted spoon, or a sieve, and then put them onto a dish towel and pat dry. You now have clean seeds ready to be roasted! Technically a variety of winter squash, and white pumpkins have been around for practically forever. In fact, some of the first pumpkin seeds were discovered in 7000 B.C., making the pumpkin one of the world’s oldest (and most whimsical!) vegetables. There are a couple reasons why we recommend that you boil pumpkin seeds before roasting. Boiling before roasting pumpkin seeds helps to cook the insides of your pumpkin seeds so when you do roast them, you will get perfect crunchy pumpkins seeds. Boiling will ensure that the insides are cooked.
