What kind of pumpkins do you have? The ones I grew last year were about the size of a bowling ball and I'd like something a little larger.

I have stupice tomato seeds, as well as homemade pickles and picklebush cucumbers. They're more short than thin, though. I have made pickles with them -- countertop dills and bread 'n butter.

Hello Caryl,

I am not sure of the correct name of this Pumpkin I have. I bought the pumpkin in the market labelled as "Winter squash" and planted the seed from it. I grew that last in 2012. The largest pumpkin I got was double the size of bowling ball. These are edible pumpkins/squash. When green, the skin is not as hard as on the ripe red pumpkin, not as hard as green acorn squash, but harder than summer squash/zuchini. When ripe the skin turns yellow and the flesh is pale yellow. During the summer it is cooked as a vegetable similar to zuchini. When ripe it can be saved for several months in winter.

The plant is very sprawling, the vines were 20-30 feet long. I started out them (2 plants) climbing but gave up and let them just crawl on the ground. Shape of the ones on the ground depends on which way they are laying, little flattish round. The ones that were hanging were more round or slightly oval. Each plant produced way too many for me.

Unfortunately I did not take any pictures but I have attached a picture from internet and the fruit I had looked much like this.

If you want it, i can send you 15-20 seeds. Thanks.
