The Official 2011 Pumpkin Growers Thread
Who's growing their own this year?
I'm only growing a few this year, and not the JOL type. I'm growing Sweet Sugar Pie, small cooking types. I sowed directly into the ground and have three plants that are just on their way.

I think Spooky1 decided not to grow any this year, so we'll stick to vicarious gardening and enjoy seeing what other folks do

Man, this has been a hard spring for squash! I have tried six varieties (some JOL, some eating types) and thus far I have one (one!) winter squash seedling. Gotta love Cascadia!

you bet, even have the squash that is what pumpkin pie mixes are made of. These things can be up to 20 lbs...more pulp and less seeds.
They are orange in color and kind of look like a butternut squash. Also doing pie pumpkins as well.

This thread kick started me. Thanks!
Just did my 5th(?) planting of the year. I am now officially out of squash seeds. We shall see what happens. The ground has been so wet that my FIL is disking up a field he planted a month ago and starting again. Yea Frighteners! Eat them!

This year is our first outing. We're just now building mounds for the patch and burying pots for watering. We've got seeds for five different kinds. Surely one or two will take.

Mine keep shriveling up. The female flowers don't even get the chance to open... I think it's because of the Arizona heat.
