The classic pumpkin - the one from children's illustrations. Bambino is the pumpkin we all know from trips to the farm: round, slightly flattened, intensely orange, with a delicate grey netting on the skin. Each fruit weighs 5–8 kg, with dark orange, sweet, crisp flesh that is high in sugars, carotene and vitamin A.
Bambino is a classic giant pumpkin with long, trailing shoots (up to 2 m). Mid-early and high-yielding, it produces 1–3 fruits per plant. The fruits are rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene and can be stored in a dry, cool room until the end of winter - hence pumpkin's status as a classic winter vegetable.
Sowing (May, directly into the ground): sow the seeds directly into the ground at a spacing of 2 × 1.5 m, placing 2–3 seeds in each spot, at a depth of 3–4 cm. After emergence, leave the strongest plant.
Position: fertile, moist soil, preferably after manure - pumpkin is a heavy feeder and requires plenty of nutrients. Choose a sunny, sheltered position.
Care: water regularly, especially while the fruits are setting and growing. Apply potassium-phosphorus fertiliser while the fruits develop. The shoots can be gently guided so that they do not grow into neighbouring beds.
Harvesting and storage (September - October): harvest before the first frosts. The fruits must have firm, mature skin and a dried stem. After harvesting, leave them in the sun for 1–2 weeks (to harden the skin), then store them in a dry, cool room (10–15°C) - they will keep there until March.
An autumn classic: pumpkin cream soup, pumpkin cake, pumpkin stew and stuffed slices. Excellent for oven roasting (sliced and drizzled with olive oil and herbs). The seeds - dried and roasted - make a great snack. Use Bambino pumpkins as autumn and Halloween decorations too - their size and shape are ideal for carving.
The pumpkin's sweetness depends on how long it ripens. Bambino harvested in August is still bland and watery; the same pumpkin becomes much sweeter after 2 months of storage in a dry place. The rule is: a purchased/harvested pumpkin tastes best only in November. Store it patiently - it's worth it.
