Long established as a popular market variety, it combines excellent eating quality, manageable preparation and very good storage life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flesh is sweet, rich and relatively dry, with a fine texture that makes Jarrahdale an outstanding all-purpose cooking pumpkin. It is excellent roasted, baked or mashed and works beautifully in soups, curries, scones, pies and other savoury or sweet dishes. Despite the substantial fruit size, the skin is comparatively easy to cut and peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJarrahdale is a genuinely Australian variety, developed in Jarrahdale, Western Australia, south-east of Perth. It became an important commercial and home-garden pumpkin and remains one of the most recognisable Australian varieties, valued for its combination of flavour, attractive grey skin and dependable keeping qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are vigorous, sprawling vines and require plenty of room to grow. Fruits should be allowed to mature fully on the vine where possible, as mature pumpkins develop the best flavour and storage potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePumpkins originated in the Americas and have been cultivated for thousands of years before spreading throughout the world. Australian growers subsequently selected varieties particularly suited to local conditions, transport, storage and cooking, with Jarrahdale becoming one of the country's enduring contributions to pumpkin diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 15 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: During the warm season, avoiding the wettest periods where disease pressure is high\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Spring to summer\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Spring to early summer after frost\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring after all danger of frost; start indoors where the growing season is short\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 20–30 mm deep directly into warm, prepared soil after all danger of frost has passed, or raise seedlings for transplanting once conditions are reliably warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in rich, fertile, well-drained soil. Allow approximately 1–2 m between plants and plenty of additional room for the large vines to spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep plants consistently watered during active growth, flowering and fruit development. Water deeply at soil level where possible rather than regularly wetting the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest once fruits have developed their mature slate-grey colour, the rind has hardened and the stem begins to dry. Cut from the vine with a generous section of stem attached rather than lifting by the stalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCure mature pumpkins in a warm, dry, well-ventilated position before moving them to a cool, dry storage area.
