Unusual pumpkins and squashes.

I just got a catalogue from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds in America (beautiful catalogue, so many tomatos).

Anyway they have tons of Pumpkins and Squashes listed and I was wondering if generally most Pumpkins and Squashes were like the giant pumpkins we grow over here and are hardy enough for our summer climate?

thanks

 

Well i had some pumpkin seeds from my fatherinlaw in america and they didnt do very well..It may have just been me and bad luck !! But i used to grow lots of pumpkins quite succesfully so i am not sure..you can get seeds for different varietys here...I have given up fighting the elements where veg are concerned :D

 

Sawfish - I grow Crown Prince and sent seeds up to someone outside Edinburgh a few years ago - she does wonderfully with them. Your welcome to seed. Great eating pumpkin, and gorgeous silvery grey skins.

 

I'd be delighted to try these pumpkin seeds Rumple. Blue/grey is the colour I want to try most!
