This was a warty field pumpkin... This variety has a hard outer shell that helps it last longer without rotting. Its probably frustrating to carve but its good winter animal food. My sheep love pumpkins... a bit too much. They are my fellow pumpkin addicts. I think when we had goats they were less enamoured with pumpkins. But I dont remember how many pumpkins I offered them, that was quite awhile ago.

This was true last year. No goal for this year.

It will may be difficult to choose a seed lineup this year. The only 2025 seed I was really considering was RonB.'s white one. I have a lot of great pre 2025 seeds that deserve to see dirt, and I think a few will. Final selection will reduce it down to one plant! Growing really BIG this year, hopefully. PS Brad Bahns? lost a nice white Blossom Down pumpkin last year @ about 800 lbs. I guess they don't all make it. Dedicating this year to Brad.
