Product Description
A very old variety from Chioggia, south of Venice. With 3-4kg, round grey/green fruit with a knobby skin and sweet orange flesh. A good keeper and excellent in soup, gnocci and for roasting.
Plant seed 2cm deep in late spring, with 5-6 six seeds/hill; and then thin to 2-3 plants. Separate hills by 2m. A very vigourous vine that needs somewhere to roam so plant where it has space. Organic seed also available.

Ugly but delicious
Posted by Geoff Hudson on 20th Jul 2009
"I just love the fact that many of these seeds are Italian heirlooms and many just cannot be found easily elsewhere.
A hippy friend of mine swore that potkins are the best pumpkins for taste and texture but we had a tast off, and marina di Chioggia won hands down.
It's our pumpkin of choice for making my family's traditional pumpkin tortelli."
