The 'Abundance' pumpkin variety is a mid-early vegetable with a growing period from germination to harvest ranging from 118 to 125 days. The fruits have a round, slightly flattened shape with a gray-blue surface and bright yellow, juicy flesh. The weight of the pumpkin can reach 10-12 kg, making it quite large and attractive for cultivation. The fruit skin is hard and resistant to various damages, which contributes to good storability and preservation of the vegetable for a long time — up to 12 months.
The plant forms powerful branching shoots that require pinching for optimal growth. It is recommended to leave one main shoot up to 1.5 meters long and two side shoots of 60-80 cm. For planting, seeds are planted 2-3 pieces per hole under temporary cover, and after germination, the strongest seedling is left. During the active growth period, regular watering is required, which promotes the development of healthy and strong fruits.
The flesh of the 'Abundance' pumpkin is distinguished by its rich flavor and is rich in vitamins, carotenes, and micronutrients, making it useful and dietary. The pumpkin is widely used in cooking and folk medicine due to its nutritional and therapeutic properties. In addition to the flesh, pumpkin seeds contain zinc, magnesium, and other substances important for health, making this vegetable a valuable product for maintaining well-being and health.
