Zeghdulet Mottled Pumpkin (Sold Out)

This little pumpkin was offered by a woman at the market in Gori, Georgia. She had them propped up on a little wooden chair next to a few quinces and apples that she had brought for the market. The hard working country people have in their daily lives preserved traditions that have lasted centuries. The rapid changes in many areas of the former Soviet Republics means that traditional ways of life are in danger and thus so are the seeds of the crops of these traditional varieties. Planting and sharing seeds with your friends is one way to continue the bond between humans and the bounties of our planet.
