Choosing the best pumpkin varieties today is not an easy task. More than a hundred varieties of pumpkin have been bred by breeders. Each species has its own advantages and weaknesses. Pumpkin varieties are adapted for different regions of the country, are demanding in different ways to climatic conditions and have different taste qualities. We will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the most common varieties and select the best pumpkin varieties according to several indicators.

The main varieties of pumpkin

To understand the variety of varieties that exist today, you need to know their types. They are usually divided into four groups:

1. Muscat varieties... These are the varieties that have a reputation for being the tastiest, but they are the most sensitive to heat. In the conditions of our country, such varieties simply do not have time to ripen if grown from seeds. But growing from seedlings gives a satisfactory harvest. Butternut squash seeds are brown, sometimes with a yellow tint.
2. Large-fruited varieties... The sweetest pumpkin is large-fruited. The seeds of such a pumpkin are white and very tasty. Such a pumpkin is well stored, but takes up a lot of space, and its fruits are heavy. This makes it difficult to transport the crop, so summer residents who do not have personal transport often choose varieties not from this group.
3. Hard varieties... This group includes not only pumpkins, but also squash and squash. The fruits of this group are small, they grow well in temperate climates and ripen quickly. By the end of August-September, the fruits of these pumpkins are ready for consumption. They are also appreciated for the fact that a medium-sized pumpkin is convenient for harvesting, transporting and storing crops. Her seeds are creamy and very tasty.
4. Decorative varieties... The fruits of this type are not used for food because of the bitter pulp. But hard, well-dried fruits are used in the manufacture of various crafts, and pumpkin whips with velvety dark green leaves and bright large flowers serve as an excellent decoration for the estate.

Something about unusual varieties ...

Of course, the classic varieties are a reliable, time-tested choice that guarantees a good harvest. But a good gardener is always an experimenter by nature, looking for something new and not dwelling on previous successes. For exotic lovers, pumpkin is an excellent and very grateful object.

The plant looks very unusual thanks to the flattened bluish-green fruits sitting on long thick stalks. The surface of the fruit is divided into segments and covered with numerous tubercles.

Getting a crop of this species is not an easy task, even for a pumpkin breeding connoisseur.
