When is pumpkin in season in Australia?
No Australian state is harvesting pumpkin in September.
Cures and stores for months after picking, so an autumn pumpkin is still good in winter. Market growers will usually tell you which variety keeps longest.
Season by region
- the temperate south eastMarch to August
- the mediterranean south westMarch to July
- the subtropicsApril to August
- the cool southMarch to June
These are harvest months, not supermarket availability. Cold storage and imports stretch what is on a shelf; they do not stretch what a grower can bring to a market stall.
Where to buy pumpkin
Out of season locally, so a farmers market will not have it. Worth checking what is in season instead.
