I have been very busy cultivating and defending this year's crop of turban pumpkins from the elements. This little one hides from squirrels in an old railroad signal. We got hail all day so now I'm forced to finish my cold frame.

That is one cute pumpkin.
Many are sold together with true pumpkins (C. pepo) and some even look more like them but I bought 2 more for next year that are actually Winter squash (C. maxima) so they can potentially hybridize with mine.
No point me growing.. Jamie can't eat. Love people who cross breed pumpkins.
Oh that's a shame
Purely ornamental then!
Very cool looking pumpkin. I read below it is a winter squash. I grew traditional jack o lantern pumpkins this year, spaghetti, and Japanese. I didn't have any problems with the squirrels but the frost come too early.
Oh I forgot about spaghetti squash . Thanks for reminder!
