The best varieties of pumpkin for the suburbs. The best varieties of bush pumpkin for open ground: description, photo Pumpkin for planting the best varieties

What only pumpkins do not happen in nature! And round, and flat, and elongated, in the shape of a jug or similar to a snake, bright orange, pale yellow, gray speckled, and even green striped. Types and varieties of pumpkin amaze with their diversity. The more difficult it is to make a choice for a gardener.

In fields, farms and gardens around the world, three varieties of pumpkin are found: hard-barked, large-fruited and nutmeg. Among them are pumpkins with large fruits and portioned, bushy and climbing, with a large number of seeds or very sweet pulp, fodder (they are used to feed animals), table (we eat them) or decorative. Ready to take a closer look at the features of the most popular varieties?

hard-skinned pumpkins

Hard-skinned gourds get their name from their very thick, woody skin when ripe. Remember how difficult it is to peel a large zucchini that has been stored behind the sofa all winter? And because both zucchini and squash also belong to hard-skinned pumpkins, but now we are not talking about them.

Hard-skinned pumpkins are good because they ripen early (in late August - early September), they do not have the largest fruits, but the most delicious seeds. Among this variety of pumpkins there are bush varieties, which is very convenient in terms of saving space.

The stalk of hard-barked pumpkins is ribbed with pronounced grooves, the stem is hairy and prickly, and the leaves are pentagonal.

Creamy seeds with pronounced rims.

large-fruited pumpkins

Large-fruited pumpkins, as you might guess, are the largest. But they are also the sweetest, the sugar content of some varieties reaches 15%, which is much more than in the sweetest watermelon.

The peduncle of large-fruited varieties is cylindrical, rounded. The stem is also round and without grooves, and the leaves are kidney-shaped or close to pentagonal.

Seeds of large-fruited pumpkins are milky white, matte or brown.
In addition, large-fruited pumpkins tolerate low temperatures better than others and are stored for a very long time in an ordinary apartment.

Butternut squash

Muscat pumpkins have a five-sided stalk with a pronounced extension towards the base.

Nutmeg pumpkin seeds are dirty yellow or brown in color.

Muscat varieties are considered the most delicious and vitamin, but they have one drawback: they are all thermophilic and late-ripening, that is, they often do not have time to ripen during our short summer. Therefore, most often they are recommended to be grown only in the southern regions.

But do not rush to get upset. You can grow nutmeg pumpkins in the middle lane. Firstly, such a pumpkin is grown through seedlings. At the end of April, seeds are sown, and in the first half of June, plants are planted in the ground. And secondly, nutmeg pumpkins can be removed unripe and left to ripen in the house.

Both large-fruited and nutmeg pumpkins are harvested from the garden before the first frost.

What is the best pumpkin to plant? Everything, as always, depends on your preferences and goals. If you want to enjoy fried, boiled or stewed pumpkin in the summer, and only seeds for the winter, plant more summer hard-skinned varieties.

If you like pumpkin juice, baked pumpkin and want to keep the fruits until spring, then choose large-fruited or nutmeg varieties.

If you prefer fresh squash in salads, the sweet-fleshed, sulphurous varieties are your best bet.

The choice, as they say, is yours. And our table of varieties and varieties of pumpkin will help you with this.

Pumpkin is rightfully considered one of the most delicious and healthy vegetable crops. Moreover, it is equally tasty both fresh and boiled, fried and baked. The composition of the pumpkin contains a large amount of substances and vitamins necessary for the human body, so it should grow on the site of every gardener. They love pumpkin in different regions of Russia, and this gives reason to take into account the climatic features of each locality. The amount of harvest that the farmer can count on depends on the growing conditions.

Siberia is a very special territory, which is characterized by extremely long frosts. Frosts in this area continue until the first month of summer. This important factor must be taken into account when choosing a variety of vegetable crops. The main qualities of planting material for Siberia are frost resistance. Several varieties of pumpkin perfectly match these parameters.

Smile

The peculiarity of Smile is that this variety is not only cold-resistant, but also high-yielding. In addition, it is characterized by a short ripening period - after the emergence of the first sprouts until the moment when the pumpkin can be eaten, only three months pass. At the output, the farmer receives medium-sized (from half a kilogram to two kilograms) orange fruits with dense and sweet pulp. Pumpkin Smile can be stored until January - however, it is unlikely that it will "survive" right up to winter - it is painfully tasty.

Initially, the variety Smile was bred as an ornamental, and it corresponds to its purpose. On the site, the plant looks spectacular - large leaves with an outstanding pattern, large bright flowers and a stupefying aroma. And the fruits are a real work of art. A lot of them immediately appear in the garden - up to fifteen pieces. With proper care, the Smile variety produces up to three kilograms of fruit from one bush.

Freckle

Variety "Freckles" is also well suited for Siberia and the Urals. Three-kilogram fruits ripen quite quickly and have a characteristic appearance - the green peel is “diluted” with light spots. The flesh of the pumpkin is soft, juicy, tender and has a subtle pear flavor. Among other advantages of this variety, high yields are noted under the condition of abundant watering and long-term storage at room temperature.

Russian woman

Pumpkin Rossiyanka also belongs to cold-resistant, as well as early ripening varieties. The ripening period is about three months. The fruits of the Russian woman are quite large - from two to four kilograms. At the same time, with proper care, up to twenty kilograms of fruits are obtained from one bush - impressive results. Pumpkin grows bright and tasty - tender sweet pulp with a melon aroma.

Farmers advise sowing the crop in April so that it can be planted in the ground in May-June. At the same time, you can fertilize the soil with organic fertilizers, then the harvest will be richer. If you want to store pumpkin for a long time, then provide suitable conditions for this - dry air and a room that is well ventilated.

Sweet pie is ideally sown in conditions where the soil reaches a temperature of 12 degrees.

candied fruit

Candied fruit is a variety that is characterized by high yield and fast maturation (from 112 to 118 days). The fruits will be quite large - about 2 kilograms, so you need to sow the seeds in this way. The pulp of candied pumpkin is very tasty - juicy, crispy and fragrant.

Farmers recommend planting Candied Fruit on sandy and light loamy soil, since it is on it that the variety gives the richest harvest. After planting, you need to wait for the first shoots and remove weak plants, and the rest should be watered abundantly, weeded, pinched and fed.

Premiere

If you want to get a universal pumpkin, then Premiere will be an ideal option. Add to this the early maturity of the variety and high yields, and you will no longer look for other varieties of pumpkin. As a result, farmers get large smooth fruits with a high content of sugar, carotene and dry matter.

It is necessary to sow the seeds at the moment when the threat of frost has completely passed, that is, not earlier than the end of May - the beginning of June. In order for the fruits to turn out to be large and ripen quickly, from 2 to 4 fruits should be left on one bush. The premiere is well kept.

Gribovskaya winter

Pumpkin "Gribovskaya" winter large-fruited

The fruits are oval or ovoid, and yellow in color and only the stripes have a dark green tint. Pumpkin of this variety is very sweet and juicy. The average weight of one fruit is about 3 kg.

Among the main advantages of the variety, farmers note its high yield, early maturity, as well as resistance to cold. To get a good result, you need to sow a pumpkin only when the earth warms up to at least 10 degrees. It is very important to water, weed and spud the plant in a timely manner.

Chit

This variety was bred a long time ago - at the beginning of the 21st century.
