Evidently I enjoy growing pumpkins more than actually doing anything with them (most years I wind up just hoarding my crop until it rots) so this year I'm gonna include a couple edible varieties and make them someone else's problem:

Winter Luxury (100 days, long vine)

I never met one of these in person and I've always wanted to see the netted skin!

"Best pie pumpkin ever" I can think of like a dozen varieties they say this about but okay

Kakai (100, short vine)

Naked seeds!

Suuurely spending 3 months growing my own will be so much more cost effective than just buying a bag of pumpkin seeds to snack on

Did I tell you guys pumpkin seeds make me violently ill. I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess

This doesn't make my brain go !!HALLOWEEN!! but I do think the digital camo sorta pattern is neat in a wow yay plant variegation diversity way. I'm curious if this poster child is an unusually cool example or if my crop will really look like that

Renegade (95, medium)

If I don't grow a Default Orange Halloween Pumpkin what's this all about

I'm really not sure that Renegade has been my best producer in this category, but it is the freshest such seed in my hoard so that's what we're going with

Pipsqueak

The whole point of these was the "long, wild handles" and last time I grew them they didn't deliver on that trait at all. Maybe it'll be different this time

it won't

But do I like some little fellas so that's okay

Pyrolga (who knows)

I don't think I've done a patch yet without Pyrolga and I can't stop now

A vine in my last patch (2024PY3) gave this yellow/green ripening pattern so I'm going to continue that line and see where that trait goes (they ripened white but it's still cool)

Mini Harvest Blend (95) (short-med vine length iirc?)

Hooligan, Gooligan, and Bumpkin

I haven't grown tiny little guys in a while

I am going to mail a box of tiny pumpkins to my friend (that's a threat)

Gonna see how these do in big pots

Bloody Butcher corn (120)

The tall kids would look best at the back of the class photo, but instead I'm going to plant a single row of corn at the front of my garden so it'll give afternoon shade to everything else

this is not how to grow corn correctly, don't copy me

the few horrifying mutant underpollinated ears of corn they produce will just be a neat little bonus (I'm going to hand pollinate but that never goes very well)

the stalks are 10-12 feet tall. I did not research this prior to purchase. good luck reaching that height in the terrible conditions I'm about to give you

I keep compulsively buying green bean seed packets and then forgetting to plant them so now might be a good year to try a three sisters thing
