Pumpkin
Prized for their gorgeous golden flesh and delicious nutty flavour, pumpkins are ideal roasted, souped or thrown into salads. They can also be stored for months after harvest, so it’s well-worth growing your own and using throughout the year, as you please. They need plenty of space to ramble, but there are smaller growing varieties, such as Golden Nugget, which will perform well in a limited space.
