Great color for decoration and excellant eating quality. This crop appears to be the most colorful we have had.
Turbine due to the three lobes on the bottom with varigated color. The top is red. Several have told me they use this shell as a bowl to serve pumpkin soup, with the flesh being the main coarse. Turks Turbines will be in short supply this season due to hail on a big grower.
This is what many consider best for pies and recipes. The flesh is vivid yellow, rich in natural sugar, and not stingy. Dad cuts this in half and puts it in the microwave until the fresh "pumpkin" is soft enough to spoon out of the shell. Then put in zip lock and freeze. See punkinranch.com for recipes and nutritional info. Wonderful decorative color and shape. Blue Majic is a smaller version.
This 'Thing" is weird. It's a red-orange warty...well pumpkin. Be careful hauling though the warts are so hard and rough they will scratch your other pumpkins. Great crowd stopper.
Cushaw are known for their eating quality. It's the one Granny used for her famous pie recipe. The plant breeders have really done well here getting a variety of colors great to display then keep for Thanksgiving pies. Keep this one in shady area. It is not heavy like the other Cushaws and is harmed more by heat.
This is new and unique. It reminds of us of the Fairytale in color and continuous change. It also gets huge. Great sweet flesh but be ready to make a lot of pie.
Great Mexican Recipe for cooking chicken inside. This is the standard for cooking pumpkin pie, I already said it's the one Granny used.
Not as popular as the normal Turbin, but great in displays and baskets with gourds and minis.
Just look at the picture I don't know how to describe it. It's like a huge Butternut Squash and eats like one too.
This slide provides the size difference of Cushaws.
Great for color and eating. It will sunburn in direct sunlight.
