Product Description
Sweet and versatile, the Kent pumpkin, also known as the J.A.P (or Just Another Pumpkin), is a classic heirloom variety that remains a firm favourite among Australian gardeners. These fantastic pumpkin seeds produce delicious, round, medium-sized pumpkins with excellent flavour and good storage life. Their firm, bright orange flesh is ideal for roasting, baking, or making into pies or hearty soups. With a unique green and yellow mottled skin, the Kent pumpkin is as beautiful as it is tasty.
Kent pumpkin seeds perform well even in low-quality soils, preferring lower nutrient levels than most vegetable crops. This popular long-maturing variety is well-suited to regions with long, hot summers.

Contact UsHow To Grow
Sow J.A.P or Kent pumpkin seeds in clumps of 2-3 seeds, spacing each clump 60cm (2’) apart. Place the seeds on their edges so that they don't rot, but ensure that they are kept moist. The soil must be warm and should not be very fertile—over-fertile soils result in poor fruit growth and excessive leaves.
Thin to the strongest seedling in each group when they emerge. Provide liquid feeds, and if needed, hand-pollinate the female flowers. Harvest your Kent pumpkins when the stalks become dry. Fruits store for 4-5 months if kept dry and uninjured.
