re: 2023 Fall Garden Thread

I’m in 9a also. I only have experience growing Connecticut Field (last year) and they did very well. This year I’m growing Sugar Pie, Captain Jack, and Gold Medal. The Sugar Pie’s are kicking arse. I have about 7 pumpkins growing already.

The larger sizes don’t yield near as many and take much longer to produce. I’d try to find an early variety at this point. I wanted to plant Early Giant, but I couldn’t find any seeds in stock. I still can’t. But in your growing zone you shouldn’t have a problem growing pretty much any type as long as you can keep the pests at bay. If it weren’t for squash bugs and vine borers, squash/pumpkins would be one of the easiest things to grow.
