With the turning of the calendar page we are now in October and our thoughts turn to fall. Pumpkins and squash are one of the treats of fall. Our crop of both pumpkins and squash is one of the best we have had.
Pumpkins
Large 30-40 pound Jack-O-Lantern did very good this year. Excellent shape and mega sized handles. We had such a difficult spring that I started some of the longer season pumpkins in 4 inch pots in early May. They were fully mature by early September.
Medium 10-15 pound Jack-O-Lantern with excellent handles were also mature by early September.
Pie pumpkins - Two tried and true varieties. New England Pie and Winter Luxury Pie.
Cinderella Pumpkins - Beautiful bright orange. Flat oblate shape.
Fairytail Pie Pumpkins - Extremely dense. European pie pumpkins. Deep orange flesh. Green to brown color.
Squash
Acorn - large acorn, honey bear - small personal size
Spaggeti - large standard size, small personal size, both have outstanding flavor
Butternut - medium size and small personal size.
Carnival - large colorful sweet dumpling type
Jester - striped acorn
Delicata - striped, sweet potato squash
Small Orange Hubbard - Hubbard flavor in a small package
Orange and Blue Kabotcha
Buttercup - old standby sweet squash
