Pumpkins and winter squashes are easy to grow and bear fruit that can be stored for winter use. The sweet-tasting squashes may be roasted, as well as used in pies and soups. There's a wide variety of pumpkins and winter squashes to choose from – all have distinctive flavours and colours, and come in a range of shapes and sizes.
Cucurbita pepo 'Sweet Dumpling' is a particularly ornamental variety, bearing green-striped white fruits up to 10cm (4in) in diameter. The fruits have a sweet-tasting flesh, which is enhanced by roasting and baking. They store well into winter.
