Growing Galeux d'Eysines Pumpkin
‘Galeux d’Eysines,’ also known as 'Peanut Pumpkin,' is a French heirloom prized for its extraordinary warty appearance and outstanding culinary quality. Flattened salmon-pink fruits average about 10 to 15 pounds and develop distinctive tan, peanut-like warts caused by natural sugar accumulation.
