Atlantic Giant
Winter Luxury
Howden
New England Pie
Dickenson ( Cheese Type)
Turner Family
Australian Butter
Kobacha
Black Futsu
Some pretty cool stuff.Can't wait to try the new to me ones and see how my old favorites do.Btw watch out for Satan's Vile Brethren aka Squash Vine Borers.

I want to plant winter squashes and pumpkins. I have Howden and corn field pumpkin seed.
Squash
green acorn
white acrorn
Sweet dumpling
Delicata
Butternut
Red Kuri
Hubbard
Spagetti
I have a few more kinds to try. I have not did big ones before but smaller have did fine. I only can eat so many and only need few of each. I like a variety. When I sort seed I will know what I have. I know I was given some Boston Marrow. That was one I wanted to try.
I was going to plant pumpkins in the corn to see if it would keep the raccoons out. So the field pumpkins. I see a new winter squash listed but it plan too high for seed. If my squshes mix I will not worry about and just have a new kind maybe. Guess that is how they get them.
If you guys have not priced a can of pumpkin for one pie. Not big can.

Kudos Bro, wish we had more here, I think Laura will be growing Buttercup, acorn...I may throw in some hubbard...You have some very nice varieties listed there kevin Well Phil If I get really going good I could plant 18-20 hills so plenty of room for everything.I really wanted to try some of these to see how good they are. The main pumpkins and winter squash are Howden,Winter Luxury , New England Pie and Kabocha.I have heard lots of good things about the French pumpkins so I want to see how they compare to American types.

Kevin, that New England Pie sounds interesting, I ordered Amish Pie squash from Bakers two years ago, and that wasn't what came up  I had gotten seeds from S.S.E in 1999 and they were great for pies Colorado we were thinking about giving the spaghetti squash a try...I did Way back when they first became widely available,,, didn't prepare it right or something, everyone raves about them tho...may give em' a try! |

Hey Phil New England Pie is an old standard pie pumpkin and does really well pretty much everywhere.About the same size as Winter Luxury.
