Hi List,
Someone from The U.K. is sending me seeds for Crown Prince blue pumpkins. I've never heard of this type of pumpkin. Can anyone give me any information about these, or know of a website that may have a picture of them? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dr John

Hi Dr. John,

I have heard of Crown Prince, but not the blue version. Could this be a "Queensland Blue" instead? If so, you can see a picture of one at:

Hope this helps.

Blue pumpkins especially Queensland blue is all we grow in Australia. If you grow an orange pumpkin everyone laughs. They dont grow very big perhaps 10lb so I wouldnt grow them for competition
