Shalom Brother! I'd LOVE some seeds but I don't think Australian customs and bio-security would let them into the country. We're coming into the wet season/summer here and I've found that fruit flies sting the butternut pumpkins I'm growing. There isn't any signs of fruit fly stings on my kent pumpkins. Butternut might be a better option for us in our dry season. This year I'm trying tromboncino as it is suppose to be a very good zucchine substitute as it's less prone to fungal issues. Picked young it's tender and spiralizes a treat without having to peel the skin.
I'm also trying delicata, dumpling, golden nugget, giant pink banana, queen acorn and sugar pumpkins.
Yeah, I'm a bit of a pumpkin tragic.
I managed to find some achocha seeds here in Australia and it would seem that the jewelled sting beetles that are sap suckers really like these.
I've yet to have a single pod grow big enough to set seed let alone big enough to eat before it goes brown and shrivels on the vine.
This is another fruit that might be better left to dry season when our crazy pest pressure is less.
Blessings from my household to yours,
~D.
